F5 
The morning is dead 
D5 
And the day is, too 
B5 
There's nothing left here to meet me 
E5 
But the velvet moon 
C5                G5                 G5 G5 
All my loneliness I have felt today 
D5 
It's a little more than enough 
F5                         
To make a man throw himself away 
G5              A5 G5 
And I continue 
                          A5 G5 
To burn the midnight lamp 
      C5 G5 
Alone 
 
{Intr.} 
F5 
Now the smiling portrait of you 
D5 
Is still hangin' on my frowning wall 
B5                                           E5 
It really doesn't, really doesn't bother me too much at all 
C5 
It's just the ever falling dust 
G5                         G5      G5 
That makes it so hard for me to see 
D5 
That forgotten earring layin' on the floor 
F5 
Facing coldly towards the door 
G5          A5 G5 
I continue 
                          A5 G5 
To burn the midnight lamp 
            C5 G5 
Lord, alone 
 
{SOLO} 

Loneliness is such a drag 
 
{Intr.} 
F5 
So here I sit to face 
D5 
That same old fire place 
B5 
Gettin' ready for the same old explosion 
E5 
Goin' through my mind 
C5 
And soon enough time will tell, 
G5                                      G5 G5 
About the serpents in the wishing well 
D5 
And someone who will buy and sell for me 
F5 
Someone to toll my bell 
G5              A5 G5 
But I continue 
                          A5 G5 
To burn the midnight lamp 
            A5 G5 
Lord, alone 
( C5 G5 ) 
Darlin' can't ya hear me callin' you? 
So lonely 
Gonna have to blow my mind 
Lonely
