  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)  ...
