Been Alone so Long / Chris Judge Smith, sang by Peter Hammill
-------------------------------------------------------------
>From "Nadir's Big Change" and "The Love Songs" (maybe Democrazy by Smith')
A great song. Most of the chord are correct, but the solo sax should be
researched some more, it's a bit obscure to me, but maybe I'l find it, or
better: one of my better-playing friends would find it for me.
Generaly: There is a basic chord sequence in every verse, which is a bit
longer on the 3rd verse. There is also a second sequence in the sax solo.
Some of the lyrics typed here were based on Guido Hogan's TEX File - Thanx!
If I'll have the time I'll tab the complete solo sax - for guitar... Yuck!
Chords:
G - 3-2-0-0-0-3-|
D - x-x-0-2-3-2-|
C - x-3-2-0-1-0-|
Em - 0-2-2-0-0-0-|
F - 1-3-3-2-1-1-|
Am - 0-0-2-2-1-0-|
Have fun! (A rather jolly song about a painful subject, but still enjoyable!)

Sax solo again. Repeat the sax solo chords, then again repeat the chord sequence of a verse - with the sax playing, and end with the solo chords once more.
