Eric Carmen - All By Myself
Standard tuning for guitar. As this song is all piano, the chords may not sound correct
the guitar, but competent pianists should be able to work it out. The structure here may
be the same as some versions, as two were released. One is a shorter one, and the other
one has a piano solo in, and is about seven minutes long.
