Been Alone so Long / Chris Judge Smith, sang by Peter Hammill
-------------------------------------------------------------
>From "Nadir's Big Change" and "The Love Songs" (maybe Democrazy by Smith?)
A great song. Most of the chord are correct, but the solo sax should be
researched some more, it's a bit obscure to me, but maybe I'l find it, or
better: one of my better-playing friends would find it for me.
Generaly: There is a basic chord sequence in every verse, which is a bit
longer on the 3rd verse. There is also a second sequence in the sax solo.
Some of the lyrics typed here were based on Guido Hogan's TEX File - Thanx!
If I'll have the time I'll tab the complete solo sax - for guitar... Yuck!
Chords:
G - 3-2-0-0-0-3-| D - x-x-0-2-3-2-| C - x-3-2-0-1-0-| Em - 0-2-2-0-0-0-| F - 1-3-3-2-1-1-| Am - 0-0-2-2-1-0-|
[G]Been alone so long
that I've forgotten what [D]it's like
[C] to feel somebody next to me
and hea[Em]r her breathing peacefully
when I wa[D]ke up at ni-g[G]-ht[D].[C]
wake up at night[Em]
[G]Been alone so long
that I've forgotten what [D]to say--
[C] if I meet somebody who
might eas[Em]ily resemble you
I [D]smile, but look a-[G]w-[D]a-[C]y...
I look away[Em].

[G]Been alone so long
that I've forgotten what [D]to do:
[C] how to make the whole thing right
and how [Em]to help if she's uptight
and when[C] to run and when to fight...
[Em]how to make her stay the night--
that's if I[D] ever knew[G]----[D]-[C]
If I ever knew.[Em]
[G]Been alone so long
that I've forgotten what [D]it's like
[C] to feel somebody next to me
and hear[Em] her breathing peacefully
when I wa[C]ke up at ni-g[G]-ht[D] [C]
wake up at night[Em]
{Sax solo again. Repeat the sax solo chords, then again repeat the chord
sequence of a verse - with the sax playing, and end with the solo chords once
more.}
Have fun! (A rather jolly song about a painful subject, but still enjoyable!)
