The Only One I Know
===============-The Charlatans

	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.

Behind the Hammond riff there's a Wah guitar playing some muted
strums with a bit of a funky rhythm.

Verse 1

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
  C7	X  X  10 12 11 X

C7		      Bb	    Eb	    F
The only one I know,	Has come to take me away,
C7		      Bb	     Eb	          F
The only one I know,	is mine when she stitches me.

Hammond riff x2

C7		      Bb	     Eb	       F
The only one I see,	Has found an aching in me,
C7		      Bb	       Eb          F
The only one I see,	has turned her tounge into me,

Hammond riff x2

  C	X 3 5 5 5 X
  Bb	X 1 3 3 3 X
  F	1 3 3 2 1 1
  G	3 5 5 4 3 3

This little riff is played behind all of the chords during the
chorus. It is heavily flanged (Chorus & Phaser effects).

E|--8-8-8-8-8-8-8-------|
B|----------------8-11--|
G|----------------------|
D|----------------------|
A|----------------------|
E|----------------------|

C			Bb
Everyone	has been burned before,
F		    G
Everybody knows the pain.


After the chorus, a little break is played:

    F  G	  F  G
E|------------------------|
B|------------------------|
G|------------------------|
D|--3--5----------3--5----|
A|--3--5----------3--5----|
E|--1--3----------1--3----|


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.

Solo

Starts off with a little bass riff:

G|-----------------------|
D|-----------------------|
A|--3--3-3-3-3-3-3-3--1--|
E|-----------------------|

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:

  C7	     C7	      Eb		  F
E|---------|---------|------------------|------------|
B|---------|---------|------------------|------------|
G|--8------|--8------|------------------|------------|
D|-----10--|-----10--|--10-8---------8--|--10-10-10--|
A|---------|---------|-------10-8-10----|------------|
E|---------|---------|------------------|------------|

  C7			       Eb      F      C7

D|--10--8---------8-10-10----|-------|------|--------------|

Repeat Chorus twice.
