Osullivan Gilbert - Alone Again Naturally guitar tab

"Alone Again (Naturally)"

(O'Sullivan)

intro: Gbmaj7 Gb6 Bbm7 Eb7 Abm7 Db7-9 Gbmaj7 Gb6

v. 1: Gbmaj7 Gb6

In a little while from now

Bbm7

If I'm not feeling any less sour

Dbm

I promise myself to treat myself

Bbm7-5 Eb7

And visit a nearby tower

Abm7

And climbing to the top

Abm7-5

To throw myself off

Gb Gb+

In an effort to make it clear to who-

Gb6 F7

ever what it's like when you're shattered

Bbm7

Left standing in the lurch

Dbm Eb7

At a church with people saying

Abm7

"My God, that's tough, she stood him up

Abm7-5

No point in us remaining

Gbmaj7 Gb6

We may as well go home"

Bbm7 Eb7

As I did on my own

Abm7 Db7-9 Gbmaj7 Gb6

Alone again, naturally

v. 2: To think that only yesterday

I was cheerful bright and gay

Looking forward - who wouldn't do?

The role I was about to play

And as if to knock me down

Reality came around

And without so much as a mere touch

Threw me into little pieces

Leaving me to doubt

Talk about God in his mercy

Who if He really does exist

Why did He desert me

In my hour of need

I truly am indeed

Abm7 Db7-9 Gb

Alone again, naturally

bridge: A E7

It seems to me that there are more hearts broken in the world

G#m7-5 C#7-9

Than can be mended

A D#m7-5

Left unattended

C#maj7

What do we do?

G#m7 C#7-9

What do we do?

(nylon-string guitar solo, verse chords)

v. 3: Looking back over the years

And whatever else appears

I remember I cried when my father died

Never wishing to hide my tears

And at sixty-five years old

My mother, God rest her soul

Couldn't understand why the only man

She had ever loved had been taken

Leaving her to start

With a heart so badly broken

Despite encouragement from me

No words were ever spoken

When she passed away

I cried and cried all day

tag: Abm7 Db7-9 Bbm7 Eb7

Alone again naturally

Abm7 Db7-9 Db7 Gb

Alone again... naturally
