Hollies

Hollies - So Lonely guitar chord

According to the booklet accompanying the Hollies' 30th Anniversary set,

this (the B-side to 'Look Through Any Window') is a rewrite of the first

song Graham Nash and Allan Clarke wrote together.  Maybe that's why it's

so inconsistent about who 'you' refers to - the ex-girlfriend's new lover

in the 1st and 3rd verses vs. the ex-girlfriend herself in the chorus, 2nd

verse, and bridge.  It's one of my Hollies faveraves anyway.
