Version 1 Version 2 Version 4 Version 5Alone again (naturally) - Gilbert O'Sullivan [Verse 1] G In a little while from now Bm If I'm not feeling any less sour Dm I promise myself to treat myself Bm E7 And visit a nearby tower Am And climbing to the top Cm To throw myself off G G+ G6 F#7 In an effort to make it clear to whoever what it's like when you're shattered Bm7 Left standing in the lurch Dm E7 At a church with people saying Am "My God, that's tough, she stood him up Cm No point in us remaining G Gmaj7 We may as well go home" Bm7 E7 As I did on my own Am D7 G Alone again, naturally [Verse 2] G To think that only yesterday Bm I was cheerful bright and gay Dm Looking forward - who wouldn't do? Bm E7 The role I was about to play Am And as if to knock me down Cm Reality came around G G+ G6 And without so much as a mere touch G6 F#7 Threw me into little pieces Bm7 Leaving me to doubt Dm E7 Talk about God in his mercy Am Who if He really does exist Cm Why did He desert me G In my hour of need Bm7 E7 I truly am indeed Am D7 G Alone again, naturally [Bridge] Bb It seems to me that there are more hearts F Cm D7 Broken in the world than can be mended Bb Left unattended Dmaj7 What do we do? Am7 D7 What do we do? [Verse 3] G Looking back over the years Bm And whatever else appears Dm I remember I cried when my father died Bm7 E7 Never wishing to hide my tears Am And at sixty-five years old Cm My mother, God rest her soul G G+ Couldn't understand why the only man G6 F#7 She had ever loved had been taken Bm7 Leaving her to start Dm E7 With a heart so badly broken Am Despite encouragement from me Cm No words were ever spoken G Bm7 E7 When she passed away I cried and cried all day Am D7 G Alone again, Naturally [G] [E7] [Am7] [D7] X3
