Martin McCarthy - mmc@ehabitat.demon.co.uk From: Dan Rolander ll all be lonely tonight and lonely tomorrow Notes: This song is very easy to play and to sing. It seems to be a good stuff to learn to change between the basic chords. In the last verse the second and the third line seems strange to the metre. Listen carefully to the song. It will be clear if you heard it. (I have transcribed the song because I missed it on OLGA. I think, it is a very nice song to sing, when you are sitting on a nice and warm summer evening with some fine people on the beach, staring at the fire and feel good. Dream on...;)) Have fun and greetings from Germany Thomas Bernard, Frankfurt/Main
