Which he repeats for the rest of the song (note he plays an octave up version
so for that try using 17 on the B string instead of 12 on the e string)
Dear friend of mine has
Broken his union
Broke from tradition
Broken his vision of the future
Alone, alone, alone;
Not alone at all.
Dear friend of mine is
Testing his body;
Tempting disaster
Testing water with another's daughter
Alone, alone, alone;
Not alone at all.
Dear friend of mine my
Ear is bending
I'm not helping,
I'm not telling,
I'm not solving,
I'm not saying you're pretending
Alone, alone, alone;
Not alone at all.
Alone, alone, alone;
Not alone at all.
Dear friend of mine is
Helpless without helping
(Heal without scabs or scaring you
In Union fountain)
Alone, alone, alone;
Not alone at all.
Alone, alone, alone;
Not alone at all.
If you've got no kind words to say;
You should say nothing more at all.
If you've got no kind words to say;
You should say nothing more at all.
If you've got no kind words to say;
You should say nothing more at all.
If you've got no kind words to say;
You should say nothing more at all.
If you've got no kind words to say;
You should say nothing more at all.
If you've got no kind words to say;
You should say nothing more at all.
If you've got no kind words to say;
Don't carry the weight;
Let the weight carry you.
If you've got no kind words to say;
Don't carry the weight;
Let the weight carry you.
If you've got no kind words to say;
You should say nothing more at all.
