BIG COUNTRY - "alone" Tablature
Official BIG COUNTRY Tablature & Sheet Music »
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) ...

This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official BIG COUNTRY tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
