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) ...
