Alone Again Naturally

[Intro] F#7 A#m G#m C#7 F#

F#
In a little while from now
A#m
If I’m not feeling any less sour
C#m
I promise myself to treat myself
A#m Eb
And visit a nearby tower
G#m
And climbing to the top
Bm
Will throw myself off
F#
In an effort to make it clear to whoever
D#m F7
what it’s like when you’re shattered
A#m
Left standing in the lurch
C#m Eb
At a church with people saying
G#m
My God, that’s tough, she stood him up
Bm
No point in us remaining
F#
We may as well go home
A#m7 Eb
As I did on my own
G#m C#7 F#
Alone again, naturally

F#
To think that only yesterday
A#m
I was cheerful bright and gay
C#m
Looking forward to – who wouldn’t do?
A#m Eb
The role I was about to play
G#m
And as if to knock me down
Bm
Reality came around
F#
And without so much as a mere touch
D#m F7
Threw me into little pieces
A#m
Leaving me to doubt
C#m Eb
Talk about God in his mercy
G#m
Who if He really does exist
Bm
Why did He desert me
F#
In my hour of need
A#m7 Eb
I truly I’m indeed
G#m C#7 F#
Alone again, naturally

A
It seems to me that there are more hearts
E
broken in the world
Bm C#
Than can be mended
A
Left unattended
C#7
What do we do?
G#m C#7
What do we do?

[Punteo]

G#m C#7 F#
Alone again naturally

Looking back over the years
And whatever else that appears
I remember I cried when my father died
Never wishing to hide the tears
And at sixty-five years old
My mother, God rest her soul
Couldn’t understand why the only man
She had ever loved had been taken
Leaving her to start
With a heart so badly broken
Despite encouragement from me
No words were ever spoken
When she passed away
I cried and cried all day
Alone again naturally

G#m C#7 F#
Alone again…….. naturally
