Alone and Forsaken Social Distortion
Social Distortion - Alone and Forsaken
Ok, so this is my first tab, but this is a pretty easy song, and I?m pretty confident
that it?s correct. It?s basically the same as the Hank Williams tab but with a capo on 3.
Capo on 3rd Fret; all chords relative to the capo.
Intro (Palm Mute)
[Am]
Verse 1
[Am]We met in the springtime
when the blossoms unfold,
the pastures were green
and the [Em]meadows were g[Am]old.
[Am]Our love was in flower
as summer grew on.
Her love like the leaves
now have [Em]withered and g[Am]one.
Verse 2
[Am]The roses have faded
there's frost at my door.
The birds in the morning
don't [Em]sing anymo[Am]re.
[Am]The grass in the valley
is starting to die,
and out in the darkness
the [Em]whippoorwills c[Am]ry.
Chorus
[F]Alone and forsaken
by [C]fate and by man.
Oh [Em]Lord if you hear me
please [Am]hold to my hand,
oh [Em]please u[Am]nderstand.
Verse 3
[Am]Oh where has she gone to,
oh where can she be.
She may have forsaken
some [Em]other like m[Am]e.
[Am]She promised to honor,
to love and obey.
Each vow was a plaything
that [Em]she threw a[Am]way.
Chorus
[F]Alone and forsaken
by [C]fate and by man.
Oh [Em]Lord if you hear me
please [Am]hold to my hand,
oh [Em]please u[Am]nderstand.

And one chorus (F, C, Em, Am, Em, Am)
Verse 4
[Am]The darkness has fallen,
the sky has turned gray,
the hound in the distance
is [Em]starting to b[Am]ay.
[Am]I wonder, I wonder
what she's thinking of.
Forsaken, forgotten,
wi[Em]thout any l[Am]ove.
Chorus
[F]Alone and forsaken
by [C]fate and by man.
Oh [Em]Lord if you hear me
please [Am]hold to my hand,
oh [Em]please u[Am]nderstand.
Chorus
[F]Alone and forsaken
by [C]fate and by man.
