The Only One I Know Lyrics

This was the Charlatans' second single (their first with a real
record contract). It also appeared on their debut album 'Some Friendly'
back when they had guitarist Jon Baker, who favoured more ambient,
effect-laden guitar sounds. But even without Mark, there's still a bit
of the Collins' magic with the signature Hammond riff. Enjoy!
Hammond Riff
Behind the Hammond riff there's a Wah guitar playing some muted
strums with a bit of a funky rhythm.
During the singing the organ plays syncopated (off-beat) stabs
during the C7 and a distorted guitar joins in for Bb, Eb and F
just hitting the chords once then sustaining them. The wah
continues in the background.
Chords: E A D G B E
The only one I know, Has come to take me away,
The only one I know, is mine when she stitches me.
Hammond riff x2
The only one I see, Has found an aching in me,
The only one I see, has turned her tounge into me,
Hammond riff x2
Chords: E A D G B E
This little riff is played behind all of the chords during the
chorus. It is heavily flanged (Chorus & Phaser effects).
Everyone has been burned before,
Everybody knows the pain.
After the chorus, a little break is played:
Verse 2 (As first verse)
The only one I know, never cries, never opens her eyes,
The only one I know, wide awake and then she's away,
The only one I see, is mine as she walks down the street,
The only one I see, has carved her way into me.
Repeat Chorus twice then the F-G, F-G break.
Starts off with a little bass riff:
Repeat this four times, drums enter after two.
This is the guitar solo; it's a pretty distorted sound with a bit of
reverse reverb. It's pretty easy, so keep your playing clean:
Repeat Chorus twice.
That's all. If you enjoyed using this tab return the favour and put a
