"I Think We're Alone Now"
(Ritchie Cordell)

[Notes: 1) The intro is notated in quarter-notes (one slash per beat) but
played in staccato eighth-notes; 2) When I heard 'em live, they simulated
the crickets chirping by scratching their chins on-mike!]

intro:
AA Piano Chord 
           EE Piano Chord 
           DD Piano Chord 
          (AA Piano Chord 
)
/  /  /  /  /  /  /  /  /  /  /  /

verse 1:

AA Piano Chord 
         C#mC#m Piano Chord 

Children behave
F#mF#m Piano Chord 
               EE Piano Chord 

That's what they say when we're together
AA Piano Chord 
                C#mC#m Piano Chord 

And watch how you play
F#mF#m Piano Chord 
               EE Piano Chord 

They don't understand   and so we're

C#mC#m Piano Chord 
                        AA Piano Chord 
 *
Runnin' just as fast as we can
C#mC#m Piano Chord 
                          AA Piano Chord 
 *
Holdin' on to one another's hand
GG Piano Chord 

Tryin' to get away into the night
EE Piano Chord 

And then you put your arms around me as we tumble to the ground
AA Piano Chord 

And then you say:

chorus:

AA Piano Chord 
               EE Piano Chord 

I think we're alone now
DD Piano Chord 
                     AA Piano Chord 

There doesn't seem to be anyone around
AA Piano Chord 
               EE Piano Chord 

I think we're alone now
DD Piano Chord 
                            AA Piano Chord 

The beating of our hearts is the only sound

(heartbeat and crickets)

verse 2:

Look at the way
We gotta hide what we're doin'
'Cause what would they say
If they ever knew   and so we're
Runnin' just as fast as we can
Holdin' on to one another's hand
Tryin' to get away into the night
And then you put your arms around me as we tumble to the ground
And then you say:

(repeat chorus)

(more heartbeat and crickets)

outro:

AA Piano Chord 
              EE Piano Chord 

I think we're alone now
DD Piano Chord 
                     AA Piano Chord 

There doesn't seem to be anyone around		(repeat to fade)
