When The Last Curtain Falls Song Lyrics and Chords by George Jones

When The Last Curtain Falls

Recorded by George Jones

Written by Emory Gordy Jr. and Jim Rushing

3/4 time

Even though I still steam

From the words that you threw at

There's no

pleasure at all

From watching you fall to your

knees

Cause the

tables have turned

And I'm finally learning to

live and forgive and let

There's no sweet

revenge at

love's angry

end

And we

all need to

know

When the last curtain falls with a final goodbye

And the bitter cold

darkness of

night

Floods the days of our

lives

With a silence so loud

we can't feel at

all

There's no reason or

cause to

cheer or

applause

When the

last curtain

falls

The irony is that you're wearing

The look I once

wore

And in

truth I've longed for

This moment to settle the

score

But it's

not all that clear

Now that I'm hearing yo

u echo the thoughts of m

soul

The justice of

time is

not really

mine

And I

want you to

know

Repeat #3

There's no reason or

cause to

cheer or

applause

When the

last curtain

falls

Who is George Jones?
- George Glenn Jones (September 12, 1931 - April 26, 2013) was an American musician, singer, and songwriter. He achieved international fame for his long list of hit records, including his best-known song "He Stopped Loving Her Today", as well as his distinctive voice and phrasing. For the last two decades of his life, Jones was frequently referred to as the greatest living country singer. Country music scholar Bill Malone writes, "For the two or three minutes consumed by a song, Jones immerses himself so completely in its lyrics, and in the mood it conveys, that the listener can scarcely avoid becoming similarly involved." Waylon Jennings expressed a similar opinion in his song "It's Alright": "If we all could sound like we wanted to, we'd all sound like George Jones." The shape of his nose and facial features earned Jones the nickname "The Possum".Born in Texas, Jones first heard country music when he was seven, and was given a guitar at the age of nine. He married his first wife, Dorothy Bonvillion, in 1950, and was divorced in 1951. He served in the United States Marine Corps and was discharged in 1953. He married Shirley Ann Corley in 1954. In 1959, Jones recorded "White Lightning", written by J. P. Richardson, which launched his career as a singer. His second marriage ended in divorce in 1968 he married fellow country music singer Tammy Wynette a year later. Years of alcoholism compromised his health and led to his missing many performances, earning him the nickname "No Show Jones". After his divorce from Wynette in 1975, Jones married his fourth wife, Nancy Sepulvado, in 1983 and became sober for good in 1999. Jones died in 2013, aged 81, from hypoxic respiratory failure.
George Jones has been called "The Rolls Royce Of Country Music" and had more than 160 chart singles to his name from 1955 until his death in 2013.
Johnny Cash once said, "When people ask me who my favorite country singer is, I say, 'You mean besides George Jones?'"
