Alone - Blues Traveler
Tabbed by Steve Vetter [vetters@vax1.elon.edu]
lyrics by (abeddow@moose.uvm.edu)
from the ftp.uwp.edu site
The placement of the chords is a little
loose, but play with it and you'll get the idea.
If you only have one guitar, try playing the
fast part with barre chords, works pretty well.
Intro: A D
A
I said "I love you,"
D
She began to cry.
A
She said she needed a friend,
D
I said "I'll try."
A
Soon we'd say nothing,
D
Somehow I never wondered why,
C
You see, she left me,
D
She left me,
A D
I'm alone.
I'd loved her always,
She didn't know.
I tried patience,
Let a friendship grow.
I tried to keep her,
That's what made her go.
You see, she left me,
She left me,
I'm alone.
Beauty and the beast
Was how it seemed to be.
A love like hers
Aint meant for guys like me.
Some call me crazy,
Some politely call me free,
but either way
You see, she left me,
She left me,
I'm alone.
A
I'm trying to forget you but it just won't work,
D
I think I'm losing my mind, I think I'm going berzerk,
A
I love you with a passion that you just don't know,
D
And I kinda wish right now that I was telling you so,
A
I could rant, or rave, or play some little game,
D
But when I look into your eyes, it all seems the same,
A
You weren't meant for me and that's a sad but true fact,
D
Now I don't care how I look and don't care how I act,
A
You set me free; I'm a man among men,
D
But when I think of what I missed it starts all again,
A
Now alone in the darkness of each new day,
D
My heart is on its own.
A
I wanna rip it from my chest and throw it away,
D
Watch this bassman take me home.
I guess some day,
Love will soon be here,
And maybe then,
I'll see things more clear.
I guess I got excited,
Cause it felt so near,
and
You see, she left me,
She left me,
I'm alone.
But I know I'd give my life,
Just to hold her now,
And who knows?
I might see her around.
Hopes can always go up.
Tears can only come down.
You see, she left me.
She left me,
I'm alone.
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 BLUES TRAVELER 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.
