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!

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.

Been alone so long
that I've forgotten what to do:
how to make the whole thing right
and how to help if she's uptight
and when to run and when to fight...
how to make her stay the night--
that's if I ever knew-----
If I ever knew.
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
{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!)
