Chords for Gilbert O'Sullivan - Alone Again (Naturally) - 1972

_ _ _ _ [Bbm] _ _ _ _
[Abm] _ _ [Db] _ _ [Gb] _ _ _
In a little while from now, [Bbm] not feeling any less so
[Dbm] I promised myself to treat myself [Bb] and visit a [Eb] nearby town
[Abm] Climbing to the top, [Ab] throw myself off
[Gb] In an effort to make clear to everyone it's like
When [F] you're shattered, [Bbm] left standing in the lurch
[Dbm] At a church where [Eb] people sing
[Abm] My God, that's tough, she stood him up
[Ab] No point in us remaining
[Gb] He is well gone, [Bbm] as I did on [Eb] my own
[Abm] Alone [Db] again, I [Gb] truly think _ that only yesterday
[Bbm] I was cheerful, bright and gay
[Dbm] Looking forward to what I wouldn't do
[Bb] The role I was about [Eb] to play
[Abm] But as if to knock me down, [Ab] reality came around
[Gb] Without so much as a mere touch
Cut me into [F] little pieces, [Bbm] leaving me to doubt
Talk [Dbm] about God in [Eb] His mercy
[Abm] If He really does exist
[Bm] Why did He desert me [Gb] in my heart of need?
[Bbm] Truly I'm [Eb] indeed [Abm] alone again
[Db] _ [Gb] Naturally, _ it [A] seems to me that there are more [E] hearts
Broken in the world that can't [Ab] be mended [Db] Left [A] unattended
[Eb] What do we [Db] do?
_ What do we [Abm] do? _ _ _
[Gb] _ _ _ _ [Bbm] _ _ _ _
[Dbm] _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ [Eb] _ _
[Abm] _ _ _ _ [Ab] _ _ _ _
[Gb] _ _ _ _ _ _ [F] _ _
[Bbm] _ _ _ _ [Dbm] _ _ [Eb] _ _
[Abm] _ _ _ _ [Ab] _ _ _ _
[Gb] _ _ _ _ [Bbm] _ _ [Eb] _ _
[Abm] Alone again, [Gb] naturally _ _ _
Looking back over [Gb] the years
[Bbm] Whatever else there's appears
I [Dbm] remember I cried when my father [Bb] died
Never wishing to cry the tears
[Abm] Sixty-five years old
A [Bm] mother God rest her soul
[Gb] Couldn't understand why the only man
She had ever [F] loved had been [Bbm] taken
Leaving her to start [Dbm] with a heart [Eb] so badly broken
[Abm] Despite encouragement from [Ab] me
No words were ever [Gb] spoken
When she passed away
[Bbm] I cried and [Eb] cried all [Abm] day
Alone again, [Bbm] naturally
_ [Eb] Alone [Abm] _ again, [Db] _ naturally
[Gb] _ _
