Alone But Not Alone by Rodney Crowell Alone But Not Alone D# G# D# G# I’m stretched out like a canvas ‘neath a blue and endless sky D# Cm Bb Staring up through cattle bones as cotton balls roll by D# G# D# G# I swear I see a rose up there so beautiful and white D# Cm Bb If I so much as blink an eye I could lose her in this light G# Bb Out here in this deserted land the future looks so vast G# Bb Like every little grain of sand and every blade of grass D# G# D# I’m alone but not alone Cm G# D# Something inside me is trying to guide me on my long way back home D# G# D# I’m alone but not alone Only with these stolen words can I unpack my heart While you rise from the ashes I feel free in the dark I swear I feel your humid breath so soft inside my ear The day they lay my soul to rest I swear I’ll meet you there Out here on this great expanse the wind cries over my head At night I hear the natives dance in circles round my bed I’m alone but not alone Something quite near me is trying to steer me It’s a long way back home D# G# D# I’m alone but not alone G# Bb G# Bb Goodbye California, Goodbye Tennessee, G# Bb G# Bb Goodbye sweet Carolina, don’t worry about me I’m alone but not alone Something so strong is leading me on my long way back home I’m alone but not alone by: José Duarte jtduarte1@gmail.com www.TAB6.com
