Robyn Hitchcock - Ivy Alone

G C
can anyone hear but me
G C
the ivy surrounds you
G C
infinitesamally
Em C
does anyone love you?
A C
baby , just me
G C
youre caught in the darkness
G D Am
the only place you can be alone
C Em A7
alone , alone

G C
a series of strangers
G C
or shall we say absent friends
G C
parading before you
G D
into your life she bends
Am C
so hollow and lonely
Am C
its making you see
G C
you’ll only get better
G D Am
when you’ve learned how to be alone
C Em A7
alone , alone

( jangly jangly on the G an octive up? )

G C
what does it matter?
G C
youre seeking the eyes long shade
G C
ive brought you some onions
G C
cry now dont be afraid
Am C
their walking towards you
Am C
the angels from everywhere
G C
the ghost of you’re body
G D Am
is bringing you back to her alone
