[Intro]
D G D
[Verse 1]
D
I was a midnight rider on a cloud of smoke
D
I could make a woman hang on every single stroke
G
I was an iron man, I had a master plan
D
But I was alone
D
I could hear you breathing, With a sigh of the wind
D
I remember how your body started trembling
G
Oh, what a night it's been, And for the state I'm in
D
I'm still alone
[Pre-chorus 1]
Bm Em
And all the wonders made for the Earth
A Bm
And all the hearts in all creation
D
Somehow I always end up alone (Always end up alone)
Always end up alone
[Chorus]
D Bm
So I play, (Sha-la) I'll wait (I'll wait)
Em
'Cause you know that love takes time (Livin' love between the lines)
D Bm
We came, (Sha-la) so far (so far)
Em
Just the beat of a lonely heart
F#m G
And it's mine
D
And I don't wanna be alone
[Verse 2]
D
Well, since I got no message on your answer phone
D
Since you're busy every minute. I just stay at home
G
I make believe you care, I feel you everywhere
D
But I'm still alone
D
I'm on a wheel of fortune with a twist of fate
D
'Cause I know it isn't heaven, is it love or hate
G
Am I the subject of the pain, Am I the stranger in the rain
D
I am alone
[Pre-chorus 2]
Bm Em
And if the glory there to behold
A Bm
Maybe it's my imagination
Em A
Another story there to be told. oow
[Chorus]
D Bm
So I play, (Sha-la) I'll wait (At times)
Em
And I pray it's not too late (Tears that you cry)
D Bm
We came (Sha-la) so far (so far)
Em
Just the beat of a lonely heart
F#m G
And it's mine (pause)
D
And I don't wanna be alone
[Pre-chorus 3]
Bm Em
And all the wonders made for the Earth
A Bm
And all the hearts in all creation
Em A
Another story there to be told. oow
[Chorus]
D Bm
So I play, (Sha-la) I'll wait (I'll wait)
Em
And I pray it's not too late (Livin' love between the lines)
D Bm
We came (Sha-la) so far (so far)
Em
Just the beat of a lonely heart
F#m G
And it's mine
D
And I don't wanna be alone
[Coda]
D
Gone, but not out of sight
D
I'm caught in the rain and there's no one home
D
Gonna face the heat of the night
D
The one that you love got a heart that's made of stone
D
Shine and search for the light
D
(and I don't wanna be alone)
And sooner or later you'll be cruising on your o-cean
D
And clean out of sight
D
(and I don't wanna be alone)
I'm caught in the rain and there's no one home
D
Gonna face the heat of the night
D
(and I don't wanna be alone)
The one that you love got a heart that's made of stone
D
Shine and search for the light
D
(and I don't wanna be alone)
And sooner or later you'll be cruising on your o-cean
D
And clean out of sight
D
(and I don't wanna be alone)
I'm caught in the rain and there's no one home

Not a bad tab but a few corrections i must throw in....
The Em7 chord might be the chord they actually do play but just a standard E minor chord sounds far more accurate to me. so forget the Em7 and just play a standard Em.
Secondly, That Gmaj9 chord is very awkward to play unless your very practiced and experienced so just play a standard open G chord without the second fret on the A string, 3X0033 (I've seen Barry play this G-chord on a live performance with this song).
Thirdly and the biggest mistake I must pull you up on.... the first two lines of the bridge "And all the wonders made for the earth, and all the hearts in all creation" you have incorrect chords and chords that are completely missing.... The first line is Bm7 and Em, and then the second line of the bridge, the chords are A, Bm7 then a quick G chord before it goes into D on the third line. listen to the actual song and you can hear it as plain as day.
Hope this helps. Cheers to a ridiculously great song =)
