Like in Suzy Lee, Jack plays rhythm guitar behind Johnny Walker, who plays slide. Jack
is playing in Standard tuning. During breaks I combined both guitars into one part for
simplicity, so pay attention to the tuning changes.

VERSE 1: (SLIDE RIFF, with 0-3b--0 from Jack's guitar)
Well, I hold the rope
And I hold the sail
And I kept my papers
To keep from land' in jail
And I fought piranhas
And I fought the cold
There was no one with me

I was all alone, yeah

VERSE 2:
Well, it's Easter morning now
And there's no one around
So I unroll the sermon
And walk into the town
There was no one with me

And I fought piranhas
And I fought the cold, yeah

Well, you know what it's like

And you fought the cold
An' there's nobody with you
Yes, you're all alone, yeah
