Alone Again (naturally)

 
               
Introdução: G7M G6 Bm7 E7 Am7 D7/9- G7M G6 
 
G7M                G6       
In a little while from now   
       Bm7 
If I'm not feeling any less sour 
  Dm                               
I promise myself to treat myself  
Bm5-/7              E7 
And visit a nearby tower 
    Am7                  
And climbing to the top  
              Am5-/7 
To throw myself off 
   G             G5+  
In an effort to make It clear to who-ever 
                G6             F#7 
What it's like when you're shattered 
     Bm7                     
Left standing in the lurch 
      Dm           E7 
At a church with people saying 
    Am7                                  
"My God, that's tough, she stood him up. 
     Am5-/7 
No point in us remaining 
 G7M            G6       
We may as well go home".  
Bm7        E7       
As I did on my own.  
 Am7       D7/9-   G7M  G6 
Alone again, naturally 
G7M                 G6       
To think that only yesterday  
              Bm7 
I was cheerful bright and gay 
  Dm                            
Looking forward who wouldn't do 
Bm5-/7            E7 
The role I was about to play 
    Am7                      
And as if to knock me down 
                  Am5-/7 
Reality came around 
      G                 G5+                               
And without so much as a mere touch  
 G6                   F#7 
Threw me into little pieces 
     Bm7                                  
Leaving me to doubt 
        Dm              E7 
Talk about God in his mercy 
    Am7                                                  
Who if He really does exist 
        Am5-/7 
Why did He desert me 
  G7M          G6                                        
In my hour of need.  
   Bm7         E7  
I truly am indeed 
     Am7        D7/9- 
Alone again, naturally 
Bridge 
    Bb                                      F7 
It seems to me that there are more hearts broken in the world 
            Am5-/7     D7/9-      Bb        Em5-/7 
Than can be mended.      Left unattended 
          D7M                 Am7    D7/9- 
What do we do,  what do we do 
 
Solo: G7M G6 Bm7 Dm Bm5-/7 E7 Am7 Am5-/7 G G5+ G6 F#7 Bm7 Dm E7 Am7                        
                    Am5-/7 G7M G6 Bm7 E7 Am7 D7/9- G7M G6 
 
G7M                 G6                    
Looking back over the years 
     Bm7 
And whatever else appears 
  Dm                                                  Bm5-/7  
I remember I cried when my father died 
             E7 
Never wishing to hide my tears  
    Am7                                
And at sixty-five years old 
Am5-/7 
My mother, God rest her soul 
      G                 G5+                                
Couldn't understand why the only man.  
  G6                         F#7 
She had ever loved had been taken 
     Bm7                        
Leaving her to start.  
             Dm                E7 
With a heart so badly broken, despite encouragement from me 
    Am7                                   
No words were ever spoken.  
                        Am5-/7 
When she passed away, I cried and cried all day 
Am7      D7/9-   Bm7   E7  
Alone again naturally.     
Am7      D7/9-  D7    G 
Alone again    naturally 
Finale: Guitar solo fade out
