HOLLIES - "So Lonely" Tablature

rding to the booklet accompanying the Hollies' 30th Anniversary set,
this (the B-side to 'Look Through Any Window') is a rewrite of the first
song Graham Nash and Allan Clarke wrote together. Maybe that's why it's
so inconsistent about who 'you' refers to - the ex-girlfriend's new lover
in the 1st and 3rd verses vs. the ex-girlfriend herself in the chorus, 2nd
verse, and bridge. It's one of my Hollies faveraves anyway.
