I wrote this because the other versions were wrong. They had the basics, but

were lacking some small things... Call me a perfectionist if you will :) I

love secret songs, don't you? Anyways...


Measure #1:

After playing the last part of this measure, quickly place your hand with the

pick over all the strings so that the sound will only last for a fraction of

a second.


Play the measures in this order:


Play #1 and #2 - 7 times

Play #3 and #4 - 3 times

Play #3 and #5 - 1 time

Play #1 and #2 - 4 times

Play #3 and #4 - 3 times

Play #3 and #5 - 1 time


Understand? Really, it isn't that hard.


To play the parts where there are "0"s below numbers, I usually strum the

open string with the pick and use another finger to pick the higher string.

For example, take measure #5... I would pick the A string with my pick, while

struming the high E string with my middle finger. Whatever worx for you :)


Oh, I almost forgot... Here are the lyrics:


Begin singing towards the 2nd time you play measure #2... Listen to the CD if

you don't know what I mean.


I was alone... I was all by myself.

No one was looking, I was thinkin' of you...

Oh ya did I mention... I was all by myself? (at the end of this line, measure

#3 kicks in for the first time)

All by myself... All by myself... All by myself. (end of measure #5 and music

stops until...)

I went to your (music starts again) house, but no one was there...

I went to your room... I was all by myself...

You and me had such wonderful times... When I'm all by myself...

All by myself... All by myself.


Little confusing, I know... The extra notes will probably screw a couple ppl

up, but you see what I mean :)


Boboly Pizza Man out!


P.S. If you have the whole "solo" of Bombtrack by Rage Against the Machine, I

would love to have it!
