Alone Agin (Naturally) - by Gilbert O’Sullivan

[Intro]
| F#maj7 F#6 | A#m7 A#7sus4 | G#m7 - C#7b9 C#7 | F# |

[Verse 1]
F#maj7 F#6 A#m7 A#7sus4
In a little while from now, If I'm not feeling any less sour
C#m7 A#m7b5 D#7b9 D#7
I promised myself to treat myself and visit a nearby tower
G#m7 G#m7b5
And climbing to the top, will throw myself off
F# F#aug
In an effort to make it clear to who-
F#6 F7
Ever what it's like when you're shattered

A#m7 C#m D#7b9 D#7

Left standing in the lurch, at a church, where people're say___ing
G#m7 G#m7b5
"My God that's tough, she stood him up!” No point in us remaining
F#maj7 F#6 A#m7 D#9
We may as well go home. As I did on my own...
G#m7 C#7b9 C#7 F#6
Alone again, naturally

[Verse 2]
F#maj7 F#6 A#m7 A#7sus4
To think that only yesterday, I was cheerful, bright and gay
C#m7 A#m7b5 D#7b9 D#7
Looking forward to, but who wouldn't do the role I was about to play
G#m7 G#m7b5
But as if to knock me down, reality came around
F# F#aug F#6 F7
And without so much as a mere touch, cut me into little pieces

A#m7 C#m D#7b9 D#7

Leaving me to doubt, talk about God and His mercy
G#m7 G#m7b5
Who if He really does exist, why did He desert me
F#maj7 F#6 A#m7 D#9
In my hour of need? I truly am indeed
G#m7 C#7b9 C#7 F#6
Alone again, naturally

[Bridge]
[Bridge]
A E7
It seems to me that there are more hearts broken in the world
G#m7b5 C#7b9 A D#m7b5
that can't be mended, left unattended
C#maj7 G#m7 B/C# C#7
What do we do? What do we do?

[Interlude]
| F#maj7 F#6 | A#m7 A#7sus4 | C#m7 | A#m7b5 - D#7b9 D#7 |
| G#m7 | G#m7b5 | F# F#aug | F#6 F7 |

| A#m7 | C#m - D#7b9 D#7 | G#m7 | G#m7b5 |

| F#maj7 F#6 | A#m7 D#9 |

G#m7 C#7b9 C#7 F#6

Alone again, naturally

[Verse 3]
F#maj7 F#6 A#m7 A#7sus4
Now looking back over the years, and whatever else that appears
C#m7 A#m7b5 D#7b9 D#7
I remember I cried when my father died never wishing to hide the tears
G#m7 G#m7b5
And at sixty five years old, my mother, God rest her soul,
F# F#aug
Couldn't understand, why the only man
F#6 F7
She had ever loved had been taken

A#m7 C#m D#7b9 D#7

Leaving her to start with a heart so badly bro___ken
G#m7 G#m7b5
Despite encouragement from me, no words were ever spoken
F#maj7 F#6 A#m7 D#9
And when she passed away, I cried and cried all day
G#m7 C#7b9 C#7 A#m7 D#9
Alone again, naturally
G#m7 C#7b9 C#7 F#
Alone again, naturally
