THE ONLY ONE by Tracy Chapman
From the Album: "Telling Stories"
Tabbed by Izzylou
Note: This is possible the prettiest song on the album, with Emmylou
Harris singing harmony... Anyway, in the parenthese are the hammer-ons
and pull offs she does to reach the next chord. The letters are the string
name, and the numbers the frets.
Hope that makes any sense to anyone other than me... She finger-picks it,
I strum it. Either way works. - Izzylou
Intro: G..... G, C9 (A-3-2-0-2) G
G (A-2-0-2)
She was the only one
C9 (A-3-2-0-2) G
Of my flesh and blood
G (A-2-0-2)
Now I have no calling
C9 (A-3-2-0-2) G
I can do no worldly good
C9 Em7 G (A-2-0-2)
Mmmmmmm, mmmmmm, mmmmm
C9 Em7 Dsus4 C9 (A-3-2-0-2) G
Mmmmmmm, mmmmmm, mmmmm
C9
I sit silent
Em7
I sit mourning
G C9
I sit listless all the day
Em7 G
I've mostly lost the voice to speak
C9
And any words to say except
C9 (A-3-2-0-2) G
Does heaven have enough angels yet?
C9 Em7 G
Mmmmmmmm, mmmmmm, mmmmm
C9 Em7 Dsus4 C9 (A-3-2-0-2) G
Mmmmmmmm, mmmmmm, mmmmm
C9
I've gone hard
Em7
And I've gone cold
G C9
I can't make the pieces of this cracked life fit
Em7 G
Please forgive me for wanting to know
C9 (A-3-2-0-2) G
Does heaven have enough angels yet?
C9 Em7 G (A-2-0-2)
Mmmmmmmmm, mmmmmm, mmmmm
C9 Em7 Dsus4 C9 (A-3-2-0-2) G
Mmmmmmmmm, mmmmmm, mmmmm
C9 Em7
Together Oh together
G C9
No there'll be no more of that
Em7
But I would not dare for myself to ask
C9 (A-3-2-0-2) G
Does heaven have enough angels yet?
C9 Em7 G (A-2-0-2)
Mmmmmmmmm, mmmmmm, mmmmm
C9 Em7 Dsus4 C9 (A-3-2-0-2) G
Mmmmmmmmm, mmmmmm, mmmmm
G (A-2-0-2)
She was the only one
C9 (A-3-2-0-2) G
Of my flesh and blood
G (A-2-0-2)
Sometimes I hear her calling
C9 (A-3-2-0-2) G
Straight from the house of God
C9 Em7 G (A-2-0-2)
Mmmmmmmmm, mmmmmm, mmmmm
C9 Em7 Dsus4 C9 (A-3-2-0-2) G
Mmmmmmmmm, mmmmmm, mmmmm
