First Time Alone by John Mayall & The Bluesbreakers
First Time Alone
Tuning:E A D G B E
Key:Bm
Capo:no capo
A slow blues in B minor with Mayall originally playing organ and singing
with guitar fill-ins and solo by Peter Green.
Verses has several variations in timing that I tried to show as gaps in the
lyrics.
This is my tribute to Peter Green with his beautiful characteristic dreamy
pentatonic B minor solo ending the song.

Like that first time

I was alone with you
