I Think Were Alone Now Tab

by Tommy James And Shondells



		"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:
	                                ()
	/  /  /  /  /  /  /  /  /  /  /  /

verse 1:

	           
	Children behave
	               
	That's what they say when we're together
	                 
	And watch how you play
                       
	They don't understand   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:

chorus:

	               
	I think we're alone now
                                    
	There doesn't seem to be anyone around
	               
	I think we're alone now
	                                 
	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:

	              
	I think we're alone now
	                            
	There doesn't seem to be anyone around		(repeat to fade)
