Tired Of Being Along Lyrics And Chords

3/4 (Charlie O’Brien) From Charlie O’Brien’s CD ‚Songs From An Outpost’. His songs sound very nice and natural and he's apparently quite young and willing to deal with historic events in the Irish history, which is quite a rare thing these days. For more info. on Charlie visit his website where you can buy his C.D. http://www.charlieobrien.net/
Instrumental Intro 

Chorus
I’m (D)tired of being alone (G)boys, (D)tired of being a(G)lone. 
Slumped (D)down as time and the (G)tide (D)roll I’m tired of (A)being a(D)lone. 

(D)‘Tired of the stares that walk over you,
I (G)climb to the (D)top another (G)mountain’s in (A)view. –A-A-A_
I work (D)hard for a pound then I give it to you, 
Clink (G)clacks on the (D)ground well you (G)know that old (A)tune. –A-A-A

Chorus

Cover (D)me from the height, cover me from the stars, 
(G)Make me a (D)shroud take (G)me in yours (A)arms. –A-A-A
I look (D)up at the night and I stand transfixed,
All I’ve (G)learned from this (D)road is there’s (G)more pricks than (A)kicks. –A-A-A

Chorus
Instrumental Bridge
Chorus

(D)Down at the bottom just stars in view, 
Its (G)cold and Its (D)cold oh (A)my,
And they (G)twinkle, they (A)laugh as I (D)sigh.
