I've Been the One
-- Lowell George

D             A   F#m           Bm
I've been the one who has been frightened 

           G
And almost borne away 

            D                      G
By the very thoughts that I feared yesterday 

       A               G                  D
And it must be dust or smoke that's in my eyes 

              A               G                         D
How can I cry about something from someone that I won't see 

      A                   G       D
Oh my friends all say she had her chance 

G        A          D
Let's go shoot some pool 

           G       A      D
You know a fool is just a fool 

         D         Dmaj7       D7      G
And I've tried everything that whiskey cures 

             A    A7
But the pain endures

 
And now I'm feeling that pain 
I put my pride in my pocket 
That's how I'll spend my loneliest days 
And it must be dust or smoke that's in my eyes 

instr: D A F#m Bm G D G

A     G            D
Don't know what to do 

         A    G         D
Hold the lamp above the rafters 

                   Bm         G       A
These smoke-filled rooms will not replace her 


I've been the one who has been frightened 
And almost borne away 
By the very thoughts that I feared yesterday 
And it must be dust or smoke that's in my eyes
