The melody heard in the midi I linked to isn’t very accurate, but
it’s the only one I could find. If you know the song, you won’t have
any trouble playing it. It’s VERY easy.

Verse 1

Let me walk a-while a-lone

-6 6 -5 6 -5 6 -6 6 -5
A-mong the sac-red rocks and stones

Let me look in vain be-lief

-6 6 -5 6 -5 6 -6 6 -5
u-pon the beau-ty of each leaf

Verse 2
There is green in ev’ry glade
The tree tops lean providing shade
Maypoles spin in happy song
All nature’s strength around

Verse 3
-5
And there’s a horse that feels no pain
It’s iron strength to take the strain
Children rock it to and fro
And gaily drink its’ color glow

A- bove, the sky devoid of clouds
Thinks not to cast a thunder shroud
Upon this place so full of joy
A field of gold at love’s employ

Since I’ve felt this strong

A-bout an-y-one at all

6 -6b -7 7 7 7
I get so ex-cit-ed

VERSE 2

Last night
I thought you mighta stayed
If I’d a’ had the guts
I woulda pushed my luck
But then you mighta turned away
How do I explain
I know it sounds insane
But then I’ve been through this before
In just a matter of time
You could change your mind
You could turn and walk right Through that door

CHORUS 2

So come on — let’s get it straight
Oh, cause you’re the only one
Come on — I just can’t wait
Yeah, cause you’re the only one

CHORUS 3

So come on, let’s get it right
Oh, we ain’t got all night
So come on baby, let’s get it straight
Yeah, I just can’t wait, now

an octave higher than the other one I posted. The other one is the true octave,
but this gets rid of the bends and is easier to play.

The Only Exception

4 -5 5 5 -4 5 5 6 -6 6

When I was younger I saw my daddy
-4 -4 5 5 4 5

cry and curse at the wind.
4 5 -5 5 5 -5

He broke his own heart and
5 5 4 6 -5 5 -4 5 -5 5 5

I watched as he tried to re-assemble it.
5 5 -5 5 6/7 6 6

And my mamma swore she would
6 -6 5 -5 -5/-6 5 4

never let herself forget.
4 5 -5 5 5 -4 5 5 5

And that was the day that I promised
5 6 -5 5 5 -4 4 -5 5 5 4 4

I’d never sing of love if does not exist.
4 4 -4

But darling..
5 4 4 4 -4 4 4 -3
You are the only exception (x4)

5 -5 5 4 -4 5 6 -5

Maybe I know somewhere deep in
5 -5 5 5 5 4 5

my soul that love never lasts.
5 5 -5 5 5 -4 4 4

And we’ve got to find other ways
4 5 -5 5 -4 4 -4 5 5 4 5

to make it alone or keep a straight face.
5 5 -4 6 6 5 5

And I’ve always lived like this
6 -6 5 5 -5 5 6 4

keeping a comfortable, distance.
4 5 -5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5

And up until now I swore to myself
-5 5 -5 5 6 -5 5

that I’m content with loneliness,
5 5 -5 5 -4 5 -5 5 -5 5

’cause none of it was ever worth the risk.

Sum-mer a-fter high-school

-6 -6 -7 -7 -7 -7 -6
We make-out in your Must-ang
-6 -6 -7 -7 -7
to Ra-di-o-head.
-6 -6 -7 -7 -7 -7 -6
And on my eight-teenth birth-day,
-6 7 -7 -6 6 -5
we got mat-ching tat-toos.

5 5 -6 -7 -7 -7 -7 -6
Used to steal your pa-rent’s li-quour.
-6 -6 -7 -7 -7
And climb to the roof.
-6 -7 -7 -7 -7 -6
Talk a-bout our fu-ture
-6 -6 -7 -7 -7
like we had a clue.
-6 -7 -7 -7 -7 -6
Ne-ver planned that one day
7 -7 -6 6 -5
I’d be lo-sing you.

-8 -8 -8 7 7
In a-no-ther life.
-8 -8 -8 7 -7
I would be your girl.
-8 -8 -8 7 7 -7 -6
We keep all our pro-mis-es.
-7 7 -7 -6 6 -5
Be us a-gainst the world.

-8 -8 -8 7 7
In a-no-ther life.
-8 -8 -8 7 -7
I would make you stay.
-6 -8 -8 -8 7 7
So I don’t have to say
-7 -6 -7 7 -7 -6 6 -5
you were the one that got a-way.
5 5 -5 -5 5 5
The one that got a-way.

You’re the one rose,

That’s left in my heart, dear,

I love you, adore you, I do,

Each night through love land,

We wan-der, sweet heart,

Tell-ing love stor-ies, a-new,

Then from a blue sky,

A dark cloud came roll-ing,

Break-ing my heart, in two,

But we vow-ed, not to part,

I said, from the start,

You’re the one rose,

That’s left in my heart.

8 8 8 8 -8 -7 7 -7 -6
This one goes out to the one I love

This one goes out to the one I love
