JAMES TOMMY - "i think were alone now" Tablature

"I Think We're Alone Now"
(Ritchie Cordell)


[Notes: 1) The intro is notated in quarter-notes (one slash per beat) but
played in staccato eighth-notes; 2) When I heard 'em live, they simulated
the crickets chirping by scratching their chins on-mike!]

Intro:

A E D (A)
/ / / / / / / / / / / /

Verse 1:

A C#m
Children behave
F#m E
That's what they say when we're together
A C#m
And watch how you play
F#m E
They don't understand and so we're

Pre-chorus:

C#m A [N.C.]
Runnin' just as fast as we can

Bass fill (doubled by muted guitar):

v v v v
|-2-------2-------2-2-----2------|
|-----2-------2-2-----2-------2--|
|--------------------------------|
|--------------------------------|

C#m A [N.C.; repeat bass fill]
Holdin' on to one another's hand
G
Tryin' to get away into the night
E
And then you put your arms around me as we tumble to the ground
A
And then you say

Chorus:

A E
I think we're alone now
D A
There doesn't seem to be anyone around
A E
I think we're alone now
D A
The beating of our hearts is the only sound

(heartbeat and crickets)

Verse 2:

Look at the way
We gotta hide what we're doin'
'Cause what would they say
If they ever knew and so we're

[repeat pre-chorus]

[repeat chorus]

Coda (repeat to fade):

A E
I think we're alone now
D A
There doesn't seem to be anyone around
