Lonely Alone Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
I [G]hope you're enjoying the Sheryl Crow
thread's album release special
And when you look at the people
on this album
It is just so incredible, and you have to think about the fact
that they all agreed to participate
Because they respect Sheryl as an artist, they like
her as a person
So when she asked, they said, "Yes"
And one guy that said yes, and she's actually had a chance to work with him a lot in her [C]life,
is [G]Willie Nelson
So let's talk about "Lonely
Alone"
Lonely Alone [D]is a song [G]that I wrote with Willie in [C]mind

[Verse 2]
And I called up my buddy Shane [G]McAnally, I said,
"I wanna [B]write a song [G]that is [C]worthy of Willie [G]Nelson"
Which, I think is, almost
impossible
He's written some of the
greatest [C]songs ever written
And I [G]think people don't realize that
he's a writer [C]that he's had songs
He's had [G]hits in every genre
He's had jazz songs, blues songs, country [C]songs,
rock [B]songs [G]that have made it on the charts in every genre
I mean, he's just amazing and he's still
out there doing it
And he's [C]also been [G]an unbelievable friend [C]to me and he's also [G]been,
really, my favorite duet partner for years
So much so, that when I was going through LAX coming from Europe [C]and going
[G]through Customs and hoping they [C]weren't gonna pick [G]me
I got picked and I thought they were gonna go
through my luggage
But instead the guy [C]said, "Can I [G]give you some [D]advice? I think
you're work[C]ing with Willie Nel[G]son a little too much"
So, I was like, "I've made it,
Willie!"
Anyway, we wrote this song called [D]"Lonely Alone"
[G]and it's very much like a Willie N[C]elson s[G]ong
[D]It's about being lonely in a bar and
[D]not wanting to [C]be alone [G]and just saying
"Hey, it doesn't have to last forever,
but we don't have to be lonely alone"
And he just killed it, he just brought his "willieness" to it and
Mickie Raphael played [B]on it and it [C]just gives it that great Willie Nelson [G]sound

[Verse 3]
I love it! His "willieness" [G]You'll hear
it on this one
This is "Lonely Alone",
brand new from Sheryl Crow on Big Machine Radio
