Biography:
Left Alone is a Ska Punk band from Wilmington, California. They were formed in May 1996 by lead vocalist/guitarist Elvis Cortez. Cortez formed his own label, Smelvis Records, to release Left Alone's records, and has since expanded the label to include numerous other underground bands. Cortez was also the owner of the PCH Club in Wilmington, which is now defunct. Left Alone's music has ska influences, and the band is notable for adhering to a do it yourself ethic

The entire song goes:
E B C#m A B
However, the strumming and chord shape changes, depending on the part of the song. In the verse, the chords
are played on the off-beat as upstroke ska skanks and the are played as ska chords:,
E B C#m A B
e|-4---7----9----5--7-----------------------|
B|-5---7----9----5--7-----------------------|
G|-4---8----9----6--8-----------------------|
D|------------------------------------------|
A|------------------------------------------|
E|------------------------------------------|
In the pre-chorus, the chords are played both as skanks, and as continuos power chords on the A-string:
E B C#m A B
e|------------------------------------------|
B|------------------------------------------|
G|-9---4----4----2--4-----------------------|
D|-9---4----4----2--4-----------------------|
A|-7---2----4----0--2-----------------------|
E|------------------------------------------|
In the chorus the chords are long and distorted and are played only as power chords.
In the part of the song, that I have chosen to call "build-up", it's just E for the whole part. It starts as
skanks, but ends with a fast pump of power chords, leading up to the final chorus.
[Verse]
E B C#m A B
Sitting on a bus stop in a foreland a foreign town
E B
Don't remember what happened last night
C#m A B
But I pick myself up from the ground
[Pre-chorus]
E B
Every day, every night it's a fist and a fight
C#m A B
And I've done nothing wrong
E B
Every day is the same and I'm always to blame
C#m A B
But I've done nothing wrong so now I'm (Gone)
[Chorus]
E B
Look inside what do you see
C#m A B
A broken heart from you to me (Now I'm gone)
E B
And everyday the sun don't shine
C#m A B
Grey skies and troubled times
[Verse 2]
E B
All the things I wanted to say
C#m A B
But I never got a chance to express
E B
Writings on the wall, baby girl
C#m A B
But you still act like theres something left
[Pre-chorus]
E B
Every day, every night it's a fist and a fight
C#m A B
And I've done nothing wrong
E B
every day is the same and I'm always to blame
C#m A B
But I've done nothin wrong so now I'm (Gone)
[Chorus]

Look inside what do you see

A broken heart from you to me (Now Iøm gone)
