What It Means to Be Alone The Dear Hunter
I saw that there was only one chord entry for this song! Decided to post how I play it,
for anyone else trying to learn this song.
It's played with a capo on the 1st fret :)
Play around with the base line whenever there is a G major chord.
Happy learning :) hope this works for you.
[E]Oh,
[F#m]You were born with the sun
[E]And oh,
[F#m]You will die with the moon
[E]And everything you thought you had you [F#m]lost
[E]But now you'd never lose what you don't ha[F#m]ve
[A]Prayers from a[B]bove
[E]Never answered qu[G#5]ite en[A5]ough
N[F#m]ow the only one you[A5] have is [E]you
[E]With this cr[F#m]uel bitter heart
You were cold[E] and in love
Left her nak[G]ed in the sun
[E]Run scared from this c[F#m]ruel bitter world
This has o[E]nly begun
As the b[G]ombs are bursting off
[Am]Smoke arose
[Em]On azimuth glares
[Am]Bodies brewed
In f[Em]rigid winter a[D]ir
Where f[Am]amily's sons
Are [Em]robbed [Em7]beneath their [C7]feet
And [C]hearts concede
[Am]"Ab ovo" The a[Em]ngel sings
[Am]"Ad astra"our [Em]eyes to the s[D]ea
[Am]And we thought that we had
A ca[Em]use for [Em7]sufferi[C7]ng
And rea[C]son enough to [F#]die alone
Oh but,
[E]You,
[F#m]With this cruel bitter heart
[E]You were cold and in love
[G]Left her naked in the sun
[E]Run scared from this [F#m]cruel bitter world
This has [E]only begun
As the bo[G]mbs are bursting off
[Am]With our feet beneath us
[Em]With our hands to the sky
[C]We extend our limbs
Begging [F#]"Why, oh why?"
Don't turn aw[Am]aaa[Em]aaa[Em7]aaaa[C]ay[G]
(If you repeat that (Am Em Em7 C G) progression, you should be good for the instrumental
bridge. You're going to have to listen for yourself where the chord changes are though)
(*palm mute first few lines of this)
[A]*Prayers from above[B]
[E]*Never answered [G#5]quite e[A5]nough
[A]*Looking u[B]p
[E]Never offered [G#5]you too [A5]much
Now the only[F#m] one you h[A5]ave is...
