Last Goodbye 
(J. Buckley)  

the slide bit just goes from fret 2 to 5 to 12 to 7.   
But here's how Jeffrey does it when in Japan (not using a slide). 

*Intro (Live & Acoustic in Japan): 

D ---2---2-4-5--->5---7^5-|--7>9---9--9-----7--- 
B ---2---2------->5---5---|--5>7---7--8^7---7--- 
G ---2---2------->5-------|--5>7---7--------7--- 
D ---2---2------->5-------|--5>7---7--------7--- 
G ---XXXXXXXXXXXXXX-------|--------------------- 
D ---XXXXXXXXXXXXXX-------|--------------------- 

   1st & 3rd times 

D ---2---2-4-5--->5---7^5-|--5>12--7--------  2nd time 
B ---2---2------->5---5---|--5>12--7-------- 
G ---2---2------->5-------|--5>12--7-------- 
D ---2---2------->5-------|--5>12--7-------- 
G ---XXXXXXXXXXXXXX-------|----------------- 
D ---XXXXXXXXXXXXXX-------|-----------------   

then finish on.......and move into this 

D ------0-|--0-- || ---0---0---0---0--|-- 
B ------0-|--0-- || ---0---0---0---X--|-- 
G ------6-|--4-- || --12--12--12--11--|-- 
D ------7-|--5-- || ---0---0---0---0--|-- 
G --------|--0-- || --12--12--12--11--|-- 
D --------|----- || ---0---0---0---0--|-- 

*Intro (Part 2):   

D-----------------------------|---------------------------- 
B----2----2----2-------5----5-|----0----0----0-------7----7 
G----2----2----2-------5----5-|----0----0----0-------7----7 
D----2----2----2-------5----5-|----0----0----0-------7----7 
G----2----2----2-------5----5-|----0----0----0-------7----7 
D--4-X--4-X--4-X---4>7-X--7-X-|--2-X--2-X--2-X---2>9-X--9-X 

then finish on the A7, G sequence 

D --------|---0---------------     then into the 
B --------|---0------------        Dsus D thing as 
G -----0--|---0------------        tabbed above. 
D -----5--|---0-------------- 
G -----6--|---4---------------  
D -----7--|---5-------------- 

*Verse: 

From Dsus D into the descending bit ("hate to see the love...") 

D ---0--0--|-0----|--0-|--0-|---|---|--0---0--|----- 
B ---0--0--|-0----|--0-|--X-|-0-|-0-|--0---X--|----- 
G ---7--6--|-0----|--0-|-11-|-6-|-0-|-12--11--|----- 
D ---9--7--|-2--4-|--5-|--0-|-7-|-5-|--0---0--|----- 
G ---7--6--|-0--0-|--4-|-11-|-6-|-4-|-12--11--|----- 
D ---9--7--|-2--4-|--5-|--0-|-7-|-5-|--0---0--|----- 

2nd time, reverse Em (2 0 2 0) and the G (5 4 5 0).  

tricky "what are they?" chords 

D ----(3)--|-(3)---3------- 
B ----(6)--|-(6)---6-------  
G -----5---|--5----3------- 
D -----3---|--3----3------- 
G -----5---|--5----3------- 
D -----0---|--0----3------- 

For "kiss me please kiss me", back to the barre chords 

D ---2-----5--|--0-----7---||----"I'd only make you cry..." 
B ---2-----5--|--0-----7---||---------------|-------------- 
G ---2-----5--|--0-----7---||----0----------|-------------0 
D ---2-----5--|--0-----7---||----5----------|-------------0 
G ---2-----5--|--0-----7---||----6----------|-------------4 
D ------------|------------||----7----------|-------------5 

*Middle 8: 

Dsus D until: 

Bm A G A Bm A Em A Bm A G 

"Did you say no this can't happen....", where I've  
-consistent F# high note which seems to be in every 
chord in this section (except the last 4). 

D ----0---0--|--0---X--||---2--|-0--|-0--|-0--------------- 
B ----7---7--|--7---7--||---0--|-1--|-5--|-0--------------- 
G ----7---7--|--7---7--||---0--|-2--|-5--|-0--------------- 
D ----0---0--|--X---0--||---2--|-2--|-0--|-0--------------- 
G ----7---X--|--6---0--||---0--|-2--|-5--|-4--------------- 
D ----0---9--|--7---5--||---2--|-X--|----|-5--------------- 

Then part 2 of the intro, twice, then Dsus D, then climax  
("bells of the churchtower...so hard 
on her soft eyes...") 

D---------------------------------------------------------- 
B---8---7---5---7----5---7---8---10------- each chord here  
G---9---7---6---7----5---7---9---11------- is pretty much - 
D---0---0---0---0----0---0---0----0------- equal to one bar  
G---9---7---6---7----5---7---9---11------- of music --- 
D---0---0---0---0----X---0---0----0------------------------ 

then the tricky "what are they?" chords, then finish up on "o-o-o-over"  

D----0----0----0----0-------------------------------------- 
B----7----7----0----5-------------------------------------- 
G----7----6----7----5-------------------------------------- 
D----0----0----0----0-------------------------------------- 
G----7----7----7----5-------------------------------------- 
D----0----0----0----X-------------------------------------- 

and you're pretty much done.
