Big Country - Alone guitar chord

#

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

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

1) Am C F C

The midday sky was grey and purple

Am C F C

At least it wasn't blue

Am C F C

I want the sky to be the way

G F

I am and what 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 */

Am

Alone, inside my head

Am

Alone inside my room

Am

I feel alone inside my head

G F

Alone inside my world.

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) ...
