Track: The Lonely Life
Tuning: EADGBe
CAPO 3rd
All chords are relative to the capo on the 3rd fret. Listen out for his signature
hammer-ons and pull-offs and general strumming pattern throughout the track. It's pretty basic
but sounds good playing
against the track though I haven't figured the bridge part out other than to say there's
the C/E, G
and Am in there so any input is welcome.

Em7
What if I did not love you?
C/E
Where will that be to me
Em7
But I wander through the avenues
C/E
Under a pall of misery
(Verse)
Would I be face down in a gutter
With cheap whiskey on my breath
The lonely life of a writer
Whose words could not pay his debts
(Chorus)
Em C/E G D/F#
Saying please don't, please don't pass me by
Em C/E
I am alive, oh can't you see?
G D/F#
That I've been blinded completely
Em C/E G D/F#
Please don't, please don't pass me by
Em C/E
I am alive, oh can't you see?
G D/F#
That I am pleading for your mercy
(Verse)
What if we became strangers?
Would you notice my face in a crowd?
And you could you hear the sorrow in my voice?
Helplessly crying your name out loud
(Verse)
Would I be searching for a savior?
Burned and burning with regret
The lonely life of a writer
With one last desperate request
(Chorus)
Saying please don't, please don't pass me by
I am alive, oh can't you see?
That I've been blinded completely
Please don't, please don't pass me by
I am alive, oh can't you see?
That I am pleading for your mercy
(Bridge)
D/F# Am
I've been on the lamb
G Em
Being hunted, something fierce
Am D/F#
They say time and tide don't wait for no man
Am
But I was just hoping
C/E
These storm filled skies will clear
(Chorus)
Please don't, please don't pass me by
Please don't, please don't pass me by
Please don't, please don't pass me by
I am alive, oh can't you see?
That I am pleading for your mercy
