Chord/Tab song: Alone

Alone from Big Country (from the album "Buffalo Skinners" (1993))


----- -----------


[1)] The m[Am]idday sk[C]y was gr[F]ey and p[C]urple
At l[Am]east it w[C]asn't bl[F]ue[C]
I w[Am]ant the sk[C]y to b[F]e the w[C]ay
I [G]am and wh[F]at I do
For I have been a lost and lonely / chords for these lines are the /
Sailor on your sea / same as for the first four /
Run aground by trusting signals
You were sending me.

A) Am C, F C, Am C, F C, Am C, F C, F->G, F->G, G

2) The streets are filled with empty faces
Nothing here is new
It's just the same in other places
I have journeyed to
I was the first across the water
Last upon the land
I walked out of the silver mine
My pockets full of sand.

B) Alone inside my head / chords the same as for 1) /
Alone inside my room
I feel alone inside my head
Alone inside my tiny little world
Am, C G, Am, F G, Am, C G, G

3) It's not my life in those old pictures
Once you threw away
For I was always someone else
And always far away
Walking in the darkest places
Where the mission meets
Waiting for the ground to open up
Beneath my feet.

B) ...

A) ...

C) G, F, Am, Am / in C), I strum the bass strings only /
Al[Am]one, inside my head
Al[Am]one inside my room
I f[Am]eel alone inside my head
Al[G]one inside my w[F]orld.
I'm alone inside my head / chords as in the first four lines of C) /
Alone inside my room
I feel alone inside my head
Alone inside my tiny little world.

A) ...
