Melody's Echo Chamber - Some Time Alone, Alone
from her 2012 self-titled album
This song was actually recorded a quarter step higher, but it's quite hard to tune up a
quarter step because it's halfway between two different notes, so I've just tabbed it out in
standard. It will sound good playing on your own (in fact you pretty much won't be able to
tell any difference at all), but you probably won't be able to play along with the recording
accuarately unless you tune up a quarter step.

Verse:
"We resign the light to someone, and hand it to the righteous,
We will walk until the right emotion,
Some time alone, alone to wonder, change your mind up,
Waiting around, but everyone else is moving on..."

Verse:
"Baby, you're the one, the one, at least until tomorrow, surprise,

Don't undergo it all, look through your eyes, we made a compromise,
Used to be walking until the dawn, and on and on..."
