Here's a different transcription
Tabbed by Eyolf Østrem
Capo 4th fret (original key B major)
The Gs are regularly embellished by 320003-3x2013-320003-turns.
G
Everything is alright
and then she's all the time
F
in my neighbourhood.
Am
She cries both day and night.
G
I know it 'cos I was there.
It's a milestone
F
but she's down on her luck.
Am
And the day makes her lonely
G
and it's so hard to buck,
I was there.
C
I believe that she'd stop him
Em
if she would start to care.
F
I believe that she'd look upon
C
this side and to care
Em
and I'd go by the [...]
F
when she's on my way,
G
but I don't belong there.
No I don't belong to her, I don't belong to anybody She's my prize forsaken angel but she don't care, she cries. She's a lone-hearted mystic and she can carry on When I'm there she's alright, but she's not when I'm gone.
Heaven knows that the answer, she's don't call in no one. She's away, that sailing beauty, but she's mine for the one. And I'm also hesitating by temptation as it runs. But she don't follow me (holler me?) but I'm not there, I'm gone.
Now I'll cry tonight like I cried the night before. And I'll feast on her eyes but I'll dream about the door. So long Jesus, savior, blind faith worth to tell It don't have consolation, she's my own fare thee well
[...] I was born to love her but she knows that the kingdom waits so high above her, And I don't run but I race but it's not too fast a pace. Of course I'll not deceive her. I'm not there, I'm gone
Well it's all about confusion that I cry for her. I don't mean beside me to tell. And it's all information I will see [...] [...] but she don't [...]
Yes she's gone like the rain that's shining yesterday, and I'd like singing beauty and she don't trust anyone, and I wished I was beside her, but I'm not there, I'm gone.
Well it's too hard to and I don't bother me, it's all too hard to leave. It's a crime the way she moved me around. [...] [...]
Yes I believe that it's rightful, I believe in my mind, I've been told like I said before carried the grind. When she's all liike I said carry on. I wish I was there to help her, but I'm not there, I'm gone.
