The Hollies — So Lonely
According to the booklet accompanying the Hollies' 30th Anniversary set, this (the B-side to 'Look Through Any Window') is a rewrite of the first song Graham Nash and Allan Clarke wrote together. Maybe that's why it's so inconsistent about who 'you' refers to - the ex-girlfriend's new lover in the 1st and 3rd verses vs. the ex-girlfriend herself in the chorus, 2nd verse, and bridge. It's one of my Hollies faveraves anyway. "So Lonely" (L. Ransford (a.k.a. Clarke/Hicks/Nash)) Intro (2X): AG/D2/E //////// Verse 1: (electric 12-string, doubled w/bass; played throughout each verse): A/C# G/D v v v v v ------- ----------------- ------- ----------------- ------- ----------------- ---2-0- -------------2-0- -0----- -4---------0----- ------- ----------------- (every time...)
