    [Em]     [C]
All alone am I,

[C]    [D]          [Bm]  
Ever since your goodbye,

    [C]          [Am7]                 [B7]
All alone with just the beat of my heart.

       [Em]  [C]
People all around,

            [D]      [Bm]
But I don't hear a sound,

         [Am7]    [D7]            [G]     [Am7]—[G]—[G/F#]
Just the lonely beating of my heart.

       [Em]        B+            [Em7]  [Em6]
CHORUS:No use in holding other hands,

[Em]         [C]            [B7]
For I'd be holding only emptiness.

[Em]        B+            [Em7]  [Em6]
No use in kissing other lips,

[Em]         [C]                [B7]
For I'd be thinking just of your caress.


2. All alone am I,


Ever since your goodbye,


All alone with just the beat of my heart.


People all around,


But I don't hear a sound,


Just the lonely beating of my heart.



          [Em]       B+                [Em7]  [Em6]
CHORUS#2. No other voice can say the words,

[Em]            [C]            [B7]
My heart must hear to ever sing again,

[Em]            B+              [Em7]  [Em6]
The words you used to whisper low,

[Em]       [C]             [D]        
No other love can ever bring again.



3.All alone am I ever since your goodbye,


All alone with just the beat of my heart.


People all around but I don't hear a sound.

[Am7]               [D7]                   [G]     [Am7]—[G]
Just the lonely...beating...of...my... heart.



In the second chorus she spoke the first three lines
and began to sing again on the third line — in the
'62 version.




A great golden oldie from Kraziekhat!
