Intro: C    F   (2x)


Verse: 
------ 
C 
Standing all alone on Buchanan Street 
The sun's burning down, burning holes in my feet 
                F 
On the cobble stone 
I am all alone 
C 
Then she comes along and she wants to know my name 
I will play along with her little game 
                F 
On the cobble stone 
I am all alone 


C     F 


Verse: 
------ 
C 
Sitting on the grass by the river clyde 
She's holding her guitar, playing by my side 
       F 
We are all alone 
We are skin and bone 
C 
Losing ourselves in the afternoon 
I hate farewells when they come so soon 
        F 
We are all alone 
We are skin and bone 
   C 
We are skin and bone 
   F 
We are skin and bone 
   C 
We are skin and bone 
   F 
We are skin and bone
