Another wonderful song from Les Mis, "On My Own" is a great piece for beginners to practice, whatever your instrument. I've enjoyed shifting it up a bit to play it on the flute - I hope you enjoy playing it too :)
.A D D
On my own
D - E - D E A-F#-E D
Pretending he's beside me
.A D-D
All alone
D E D E D .B-.A
I walk with him till morning...
.A -.B D
Without him
D C# D E F#-D F#
I feel his arms around me
D G F# E D G
And when I lose my way
F# E D G
I close my eyes
F# E D .B .A
And he has found me...
.A D D
In the rain
D E - D E A F#-D
The pavement shines like silver
.A D D D E-D E D .B-.A
All the lights are misty in the river
.A .B .B - D
In the darkness,
D C# D E F# D-F#
The trees are full of starlight
D G F# E
And all I see
D G F# E D-G-F# E D-.B-.A
Is him and me forever and forever...
.A D D D D#-D D# F F
And I know it's only in my mind
D Bb Bb-F
That I'm talking
F D - D .Bb .Bb C .Bb
To myself and not to him
.Bb G - G
And although
G G F# G A B
I know that he is blind
B A G
Still I say,
F# E G F# E
There's a way for us...
C F F
I love him
F G F G ^C A-G-F
But when the night is over
C F F
He is gone
F G-F G F D-C
The river's just a river...
C - D F
Without him
F E F-G A F-A
The world around me changes
F Bb A G F Bb-A-G
The trees are bare and everywhere
F Bb A G F D-C
The streets are full of strangers
C F F
I love him
F G-F G ^C A-G-F
But every day I'm learning
A G A
All my life
A A-A B B-^C-^C
I've only been pretending...
C - D F
Without me
F E F G A F-A
His world will go on turning
F Bb A G F Bb-A-G
A world that's full of happiness
F Bb A G-F ^C
That I have never known...
C F F
I love him
C F F
I love him
G G F
I love him
F G-F G A A
But only on my own...
