Alone Again, Naturally chords and lyrics - ESTHER PHILLIPS

Lời & hợp âm

[Verse 1]
[G]In a little while from now
[Bm]If I'm not feeling any less sour
I promise myself to [Bdim]treat myself
And visit a [F]nearby [E]tower

[Verse 2]
And [Am]climbing to the top
Will throw my[Adim]self off
In an [G]effort to make it clear to who
Ever what it's like when you're shattered
[F#]Left standing

[Verse 3]
[Bm]in the lurch
[Bdim]At a church where people are say[E]ing
My [Am]God, that's tough, He stood him up
No [Adim]point in us remaining

[Verse 4]
We may [G]as well go home
As I [Bm]did on my o[E]wn
[Am]Alone again
[D]Naturall[G]y

[Verse 5]
To [G]think that only yesterday
I was [Bm]cheerful, bright and gay
Looking [Bdim]forward to who wouldn't do
The role I was about [E]to play?

[Verse 6]
[Am]But as if to knock me down
[Adim]Reality came around
[G]And without so much as a mere touch
[Gaug]Cut me into li[G]ttle pieces[C#dim][F#]

[Verse 7]
[Bm]Leaving me to doubt
Talk about [Bdim]God in His [E]mercy
Who [Am]if He really does exist
Why did He [Adim]desert me?

[Verse 8]
In my [G]hour of need
I [Bm]truly am in[E]deed
Alone [Am]again[D]
[G]Naturally

[Verse 9]
[Bb]It seems to me that there are more hearts
[F]Broken in this world that can't be men[Am]ded
[D]Left unatten[Bb]ded
What do [D]we do?
What do [Am]we do?
[D]Yeeeah

[Interlude 1]
[G][Bm][Bdim][E]
[Am][Adim][G][Gaug][G][C#dim]
[F#][Bm][Bdim][E][Am][Adim]
[G][Bm][E][Am][F#][G]

[Verse 10]
Now, [G]looking back over the years
And whatever [Bm]else that appears
I re[Bdim]member I cried
when my daddy died
Never wishing to hide [E]the tears

[Verse 11]
[Am]And at sixty- five years old
My [Adim]mamma, God rest her soul
Couldn't [G]un derstand why the [Eb]only man
She had ever [G]loved had
been [C#dim]taken[F#]

[Verse 12]
[Bm]Leaving her to start
[Bdim]With a heart so badly [E]broken
Des[Am]pite encouragement from me
No [Adim]words were ever spoken
[F]And

[Verse 13]
[G]when she passed away
[Bm]I cried and cried all [E]day
I say I [Am]was alone [D]again
Natur[G]ally[Bm]
[E]I found I was by

[Verse 14]
[Am]myself, [D]by myself
Natur[G]ally
I [E]was alone, [Am]alone[D] again
Nat[G]urally
[E]I was just looking[Am] around
to somebody [D]to be my friend
[G]Naturally[E]
I was [Am]alone [D]again
Naturally
[G]
