 Been Alone so Long / Chris Judge Smith, sang by Peter Hammill
 -------------------------------------------------------------
 
 >From "Nadir's Big Change" and "The Love Songs" (maybe Democrazy by Smith?)
 
 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!

 G
 Been alone so long
 			 D
 that I've forgotten what it's like
 C
   to feel somebody next to me
 	Em
 and  hear her breathing peacefully
 	 D            G  D C
 when I wake up at ni-g-ht.
 		   Em
 wake up at night
 
 
 G
 Been alone so long
 			 D
 that I've forgotten what to say--
 C
   if I meet somebody who
 	 Em
 might easily resemble you
   D                 G D C
 I smile, but look a-w-a-y...
 		   Em
 	I look away.

 G
 Been alone so long
 			 D
 that I've forgotten what to do:
 C
   how to make the whole thing right
 	Em
 and how to help if she's uptight
 	C
 and when to run and when to fight...
 Em
 how to make her stay the night--
 	   D         G   D  C
 that's if I ever knew-----
 		  Em
 If I ever knew.
 
 
 G
 Been alone so long
 			 D
 that I've forgotten what it's like
 C
   to feel somebody next to me
 	Em
 and hear her breathing peacefully
 	 C            G  D C
 when I wake up at ni-g-ht
 				  Em
 	   wake up at night
 
 {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!)
 
 	Bye
