I Think We`re Alone Now
(Ritchie Cordell)
[Notes: 1) The intro is notated in quarter-notes (one slash per beat) but
played in staccato eighth-notes; 2) When I heard `em live, they simulated
the crickets chirping by scratching their chins on-mike!]
intro:
A E D (A)
/ / / / / / / / / / / /
verse 1:
A Cm
Children behave
Fm E
That`s what they say when we`re together
A Cm
And watch how you play
Fm E
They don`t understand and so we`re
Cm A *
Runnin` just as fast as we can
Cm A *
Holdin` on to one another`s hand
G
Tryin` to get away into the night
E
And then you put your arms around me as we tumble to the ground
A
And then you say:
chorus:
A E
I think we`re alone now
D A
There doesn`t seem to be anyone around
A E
I think we`re alone now
D A
The beating of our hearts is the only sound
(heartbeat and crickets)
verse 2:
Look at the way
We gotta hide what we`re doin`
`Cause what would they say
If they ever knew and so we`re
Runnin` just as fast as we can
Holdin` on to one another`s hand
Tryin` to get away into the night
And then you put your arms around me as we tumble to the ground
And then you say:
(repeat chorus)
(more heartbeat and crickets)
outro:
A E
I think we`re alone now
D A
There doesn`t seem to be anyone around (repeat to fade)
