Alone Again Naturally Gilbert Osullivan

If I'm [Bbm7]not feeling any less sour

I [Dbm]promise myself to treat myself

And [Bbm7-5]visit a nearby t[Eb7]ower

And [Abm7]climbing to the top

To [Abm7-5]throw myself off

In an [Gb]effort to make it c[Gb+]lear to who-

ever [Gb6]what it's like when you're s[F7]hattered

Left [Bbm7]standing in the lurch

At a c[Dbm]hurch with people s[Eb7]aying

"My [Abm7]God, that's tough, she stood him up

No [Abm7-5]point in us remaining

W[Gbmaj7]e may as well go[Gb6] home"

As[Bbm7] I did on my [Eb7]own

[Abm7]Alone again,[Db7-9] natural[Gbmaj7]ly[Gb6]

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]Alone again,[Db7-9] natural[Gb]ly

bridge: [A] [E7]

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

Than can be [G#m7-5]mended[C#7-9]

Left una[A]ttended[D#m7-5]

What do we[C#maj7] do?

What do we[G#m7] do?[C#7-9]

(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]Alone agai[Db7-9]n... [Db7] naturall[Gb]y

This is an excellent tab and thanks are due to Mr. Rogers! However, it's missing the first line:
"In a little while from now"

I find it easiest to play semitone lower than first setting which makes the first chord line: Fmaj7 F6, followed by Am7 on the first apparent line.

It's great to have someone who knows his chords; now, just tell me how to play "Clair"...what's listed sounds so wrong.
