"I Think We're Alone Now"

(Ritchie Cordell)

[Notes: 1) The intro is notated in quarter-notes (one slash per beat) but

played in staccato eighth-notes; 2) When I heard 'em live, they simulated

the crickets chirping by scratching their chins on-mike!]

Intro:

A E D (A)

/ / / / / / / / / / / /

Verse 1:

A C#m

Children behave

F#m E

That's what they say when we're together

A C#m

And watch how you play

F#m E

They don't understand and so we're

Pre-chorus:

C#m A [N.C.]

Runnin' just as fast as we can

Bass fill (doubled by muted guitar):

v v v v

|-2-------2-------2-2-----2------|

|-----2-------2-2-----2-------2--|

|--------------------------------|

|--------------------------------|

C#m A [N.C.; repeat bass fill]

Holdin' on to one another's hand

G

Tryin' to get away into the night

E

And then you put your arms around me as we tumble to the ground

A

And then you say

Chorus:

A E

I think we're alone now

D A

There doesn't seem to be anyone around

A E

I think we're alone now

D A

The beating of our hearts is the only sound

(heartbeat and crickets)

Verse 2:

Look at the way

We gotta hide what we're doin'

'Cause what would they say

If they ever knew and so we're

[repeat pre-chorus]

[repeat chorus]

Coda (repeat to fade):

A E

I think we're alone now

D A

There doesn't seem to be anyone around
