"I'm Not Lonely" (Lyrics by ruth7784, music by mugambismonkey)

(The following chords are noted for c-tuning. I play the song 5 half-tones lower.)

Intro:
Hmmm...hmm...
4XGm - Cm Gm Cm Gm F Gm F Gm

1)
Cm
Darkness fills the room,
Gm
Silence echoes through the gloom,
Cm Gm
My ears catch the sound of my heartbeat,
F Gm
The padded carpet under my feet.

Chorus: F Gm
Am I lonely or alone,
F Gm
Are we ever truly on our own? F Gm
Am I lonely or alone,
F Gm
Are we ever truly on our own?

Hmmm...hmm...
Cm Gm Cm Gm F Gm F Gm

2)
Cm
Muffled voices down the hall,
Gm
Suddenly I'm very small,
Cm Gm
Humbled in silence's face,
F Gm
Awestruck by it's powerful grace.

Chorus

3)
Cm
Amongst the silence there is a din,
Gm
It's only internal, from within,
Cm Gm
Gentle whispers in my ear,
F Gm
I realise my angel's near.

Chorus + 2X F G
I'm not lonely or alone,
F G
We're never truly on our own.

Ruth writes amazing lyrics, doesn't she? You've written the perfect music to make this into a really great song, and then played and sung it really beautifully.  Loved the harmonies too!

Yes, Ruth is such a poet! Thank you very much for your nice comment, Michelle.

Toll gemacht, gespielt, gesungen! Erinnert mich ein wenig an Leonard Cohen, weiß nicht, warum. Nur ein Gefühl aus alter Zeit. Bewundere die Orginalität, Hut ab!
