Solitaire:The Embers.
Recorded on EMPRESS Records in 1961.
(Was a local hit, NYC..but didn't make
 the big time. Still a great Doo-Wop
 number.)

INTRO:
F#           Ebm   Db           Abm
Since you're gone..since you're gone..
F#           Abm                Db
since you're gone..since you're gone..

#1.
Db    B      F#                       B
Since you're gone I spend each lonely night
Abm      B         Db        F#
feeling apart from where you are.
F#                                E    F#   B
And the queen of hearts is there, to remind me 
         Ab              Db          F#
that I'm all alone, just playing solitaire.

F#                              Eb
Since you're gone..since you're gone..
             Abm                Db
since you're gone..since you're gone..

#2.
         F#                    B          Abm
Love was just another game for two..I see now 
       B      Db       F#
that's all it meant to you.
F#                              E      B
And my heart got lost somewhere in the shuffle..
        Ab   Abm       Db          F#
now I'm all alone just playing solitaire.

BRIDGE:
F# B      F#                         F#7
In each romance, there's a moment of chance..
    Abm       Db        F#
you gamble to win or to lose.
    B       Bm          F#
You play to win and you find the playing ends..
  Abm                 Db
a game with no rules..just a game for fools.

#3.
         F#                     B         Abm
Now, the joker has the laugh on me, but I played 
           Db       F#
my hand so careles..ly.
F#                  Ebm            B
Anytime you want to share that old feeling,
        Abm             Bbm      Fm   Bbm B  F#
I'll be dealing time a..way with sol..i...taaaaire.

OUTRO:
F#                               Ab          
Since you're gone..(since you're gone..)
Abm          Ebm    F#           Ab Ebm Db    
since you're gone..(since you're gone.....)
F#           Abm    B            Db
since you're gone..(since you're gone.....)(Fade.)
