Been Alone so Long / Chris Judge Smith, sang by Peter Hammill

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

From "Nadir's Big Change" and "The Love Songs" (maybe Democrazy by Smith?)

A great song. Most of the chord are correct, but the solo sax should be

researched some more, it's a bit obscure to me, but maybe I'l find it, or

better: one of my better-playing friends would find it for me.

Generaly: There is a basic chord sequence in every verse, which is a bit

longer on the 3rd verse. There is also a second sequence in the sax solo.

Some of the lyrics typed here were based on Guido Hogan's TEX File - Thanx!

If I'll have the time I'll tab the complete solo sax - for guitar... Yuck!

Chords:

G - 3-2-0-0-0-3

D - x-x-0-2-3-2

C - x-3-2-0-1-0

Em - 0-2-2-0-0-0

F - 1-3-3-2-1-1

Am - 0-0-2-2-1-0

G

Been alone so long

D

that I've forgotten what it's like

C

to feel somebody next to me

Em

and hear her breathing peacefully

D G D C

when I wake up at ni-g-ht.

Em

wake up at night

G

Been alone so long

D

that I've forgotten what to say--

C

if I meet somebody who

Em

might easily resemble you

D G D C

I smile, but look a-w-a-y...

Em

I look away.

{Solo Sax: 2F represents play two quarters of F in that bar}

/ 2F C G / 2C 2G / 4Am

/ 2F C G / 2C 2G / 2C 2D

/ 2F C G / 2C 2G / 4Am

/ 2F C G / C G F G / 4D

G

Been alone so long

D

that I've forgotten what to do:

C

how to make the whole thing right

Em

and how to help if she's uptight

C

and when to run and when to fight...

Em

how to make her stay the night--

D G D C

that's if I ever knew-----

Em

If I ever knew.

G

Been alone so long

D

that I've forgotten what it's like

C

to feel somebody next to me

Em

and hear her breathing peacefully

C G D C

when I wake up at ni-g-ht

Em

wake up at night

{Sax solo again. Repeat the sax solo chords, then again repeat the chord

sequence of a verse - with the sax playing, and end with the solo chords once

more.}

Have fun! (A rather jolly song about a painful subject, but still enjoyable!)
