A beautiful, melancholy tune sung beautifully by the wonderful Karen Carpenter. I hope my rendition does the song justice, it seems mostly right :)
F#       B     F#  A     F#  ^F#-^D   B
 There was a man, a lonely man
E      ^C#   B     A         E            F#       G-B-A-A
 Who lost his love through his indifference
F#    B      F#       A        F#   ^F#       ^D- B
 A heart that cared that went unshared
E-^C#  B   A    C#-E    G   G-F#-E-D
 Until it died within his silence...
G   ^G-^F#-^F# ^E ^E-^D^D       A  A
 And solitare's the only game in town
A      ^E-^D  ^D  ^C#  ^C#     B       B        D       D
 And every road that takes him takes him down
D      D   E - F#    F#  G-G   A   B - A
 And by himself it's easy to pretend
E       F#-G  B      A - A
 He'll never love again...
G    ^G-^F#  ^F#  ^E-^E   ^D   ^D    A    A
 And keeping to himself he plays the game
A - ^E     ^D    ^D  ^C#  ^C#-B    B     D     D
 Without her love it always ends the same
D          D       E      F#    F#-G    G      A - B - A
 While life goes on around him everywhere
E       F#-G      B - A - A
 He's playing solitaire...
