Been Alone so Long / Chris Judge Smith, sang by Peter Hammill -------------------------------------------------------------
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: - 3-2-0-0-0-3 D - x-x-0-2-3-2 C - x-3-2-0-1-0 - 0-2-2-0-0-0 - 1-3-3-2-1-1 - 0-0-2-2-1-0
Been alone so long
that I've forgotten what it's like
to feel somebody next to me
and hear her breathing peacefully
when I wake up at ni-g-ht.
wake up at night
Been alone so long
that I've forgotten what to say--
if I meet somebody who
might easily resemble you
I smile, but look a-w-a-y...
I look away.
{Solo Sax: 2F represents play two quarters of F in that bar}
{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!)
