IF ONLY YOU WERE LONELY [from "Boink!" and b-side of "I'm in Trouble" single] Here are the chords to "If Only You Were Lonely". It's one of the few 'mats songs I can play because it's so simple. There's no transcription here, just chords, because that's how the song was recorded: two acoustic guitar parts, one doing simple chords, the other doing a simple blues lead. For those who don't know the song, it was a live staple for Paul, who almost never sang it or played it right. The song appears on two records: the b-side of the "I'm In Trouble" single, and on Boink!, the French "Best of" collection on Glass records. Intro: G and D7 with bluesy flourishes.
