Social Distortion - Alone And Forsaken

social distortion – alone and forsaken

ok , so this is my first tab , but this is a pretty easy song , and im pretty confident
that its correct . its basically the same as the hank williams tab but with a capo on 3 .

capo on 3rd fret; all chords relative to the capo .

intro ( palm mute )
Am

verse 1

Am
we met in the springtime

when the blossoms unfold ,

the pastures were green
Em Am
and the meadows were gold .

Am
our love was in flower

as summer grew on .

her love like the leaves
Em Am
now have withered and gone .

verse 2

Am
the roses have faded

there’s frost at my door .

the birds in the morning
Em Am
don’t sing anymore .

Am
the grass in the valley

is starting to die ,

and out in the darkness
Em Am
the whippoorwills cry .

chorus

F
alone and forsaken
C
by fate and by man .
Em
oh lord if you hear me
Am
please hold to my hand ,
Em Am
oh please understand .

verse 3

Am
oh where has she gone to ,

oh where can she be .

she may have forsaken
Em Am
some other like me .

Am
she promised to honor ,

to love and obey .

each vow was a plaything
Em Am
that she threw away .

chorus

F
alone and forsaken
C
by fate and by man .
Em
oh lord if you hear me
Am
please hold to my hand ,
Em Am
oh please understand .

and one chorus ( F , C , Em , Am , Em , Am )

verse 4

Am
the darkness has fallen ,

the sky has turned gray ,

the hound in the distance
Em Am
is starting to bay .

Am
i wonder , i wonder

what she’s thinking of .

forsaken , forgotten ,
Em Am
without any love .

chorus
F
alone and forsaken
C
by fate and by man .
Em
oh lord if you hear me
Am
please hold to my hand ,
Em Am
oh please understand .

chorus
F
alone and forsaken
C
by fate and by man .
Em
oh lord if you hear me
Am
please hold to my hand ,

oh please understand .
