Standard Tuning, No Capo

verse 1:
there was a time i sat by myself
alone like a tree thinking of the day
and who it might be and where i might find you
alone just like me
chorus:
when i m alone i think of you
and where you might be alone just like me
4x
verse 2:
one day i smile the next day i m sad
thoughts come and go like a grain of sand
i look to the sky and sometimes it rains
thinking of you well it s not the same
chorus:
when i m alone i think of you
and where you might be alone just like me
4x
verse 3:
now that you re here you re right by my side
me and my tree we still find the time
to walk through the clouds and look for the rain
*
but in know i can t find them cause i m not the same
chorus:
when i m alone i think of you
and where you might be alone by a tree
Notes:
listen to the song for the struming pattern, or play it however you want.
on the chorus, they let that G ring out, then pick back up with the C (again, listen if you want)
on the third verse, they don t really play the chords, they either hit the guitar or use a drum.
that being said, if you do play the chords, where i ve got the F* you could play an F or a G there
- F follows the pattern of the earlier verses, but i use the G because the melody steps down and
i think it sounds better. if you don t play the chords, make sure you come back in on the Am.
on the last C, they don t play this chord, but if they did it would be a C.
tried to find this for a while, finally found the song on itunes and typed it
out. email me with any questions.
