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
