[Intro]
A - D - A - D - G - D
D G
Time in love and whippoowill
D A
One passing one gone and one lonesome still
G D
Bare naked rain of a silverless cloud
A D A D
I'm alone now
D G
Everyone's talking about your new friend
D A D A
With that old mayan smile and the elephant pen
G D
And legs like Ry Peters standing over the crowd
A D A D
I'm alone now
G D
But baby I've got a melody
Bm G D
And a few things to say about you and me
G D Bm
And an old heavy heart that ain't ready to leave
A D A G D
It's here but I don't know how to be alone now
D G
Coffee at dawn and a big mess of eggs
D A D A
Running the morning hours down to the drags
G D
Drunk with fidelity and reading old vowes
A D A D
I'm alone now
D G
Peace in the valley and mules in the grass
D A D A
Feet at the threshold and brains in the past
G D
I've got my hand in my ears for that mockingbird song
A D A D
And I'm alone now
G D
But baby I've got a melody
Bm G D
And a few things to say about you and me
G D Bm
And an old heavy heart that ain't ready to leave
D A D G D
It's here and I don't know how to be alone now
G D A D A D G D
I'm alone now
