• Song:

    Only One

  • Artist:

    Tracy Chapman

Tabbed by Izzylou

Note: This is possible the prettiest song on the album , with Emmylou
Harris singing harmony... Anyway, in the parenthese are the hammer-ons
and pull offs she does to reach the next chord. The letters are the string
name, and the numbers the frets.
Hope that makes any sense to anyone other than me... She finger-picks it,
I strum it. Either way works.  - Izzylou 
 
Intro: G..... G5 , C5 (A-3-2-0-2) G5 
G5       (A-2-0-2)
She was the only one
C5   (A-3-2-0-2) G5
Of my flesh and blood
G5        (A-2-0-2)
Now I have no calling
C5      (A-3-2-0-2)  G5
I can do no worldly good

C5       E5     G5    (A-2-0-2)
Mmmmmmm , mmmmmm , mmmmm
C5       E5     D5   C5 (A-3-2-0-2) G5
Mmmmmmm , mmmmmm , mmmmm

      C5
I sit silent
       E5
I sit mourning
       G5                C5
I sit listless all the day
      E5             G5
I've mostly lost the voice to speak
         C5
And any words to say except
C5                   (A-3-2-0-2) G5
Does heaven have enough angels yet?

C5        E5     G5  
Mmmmmmmm , mmmmmm , mmmmm
C5        E5     D5    C5 (A-3-2-0-2) G5
Mmmmmmmm , mmmmmm , mmmmm

           C5
I've gone hard
              E5 
And I've gone cold
                  G5                           C5
I can't make the pieces of this cracked life fit
         E5                     G5
Please forgive me for wanting to know
C5                   (A-3-2-0-2) G5
Does heaven have enough angels yet?

C5         E5     G5     (A-2-0-2)
Mmmmmmmmm , mmmmmm , mmmmm
C5         E5     D5   C5 (A-3-2-0-2) G5
Mmmmmmmmm , mmmmmm , mmmmm

C5           E5
Together Oh together
    G5                      C5
No there'll be no more of that
                 E5
But I would not dare for myself to ask
C5                   (A-3-2-0-2) G5
Does heaven have enough angels yet?

C5         E5     G5     (A-2-0-2)
Mmmmmmmmm , mmmmmm , mmmmm
C5         E5     D5   C5 (A-3-2-0-2) G5
Mmmmmmmmm , mmmmmm , mmmmm

G5          (A-2-0-2)
She was the only one
C5    (A-3-2-0-2) G5
Of my flesh and blood
G5           (A-2-0-2)
Sometimes I hear her calling
C5            (A-3-2-0-2) G5 
Straight from the house of God

C5         E5     G5  (A-2-0-2)
Mmmmmmmmm , mmmmmm , mmmmm 
C5         E5     D5  C5 (A-3-2-0-2) G5 
Mmmmmmmmm , mmmmmm , mmmmm
