Biography:
Few artists begin their career with the rollercoaster ride Ruarri Joseph found himself on. Three years ago, the singer/songwriter was playing in pubs in his native Newquay, partly for fun, partly to supplement his income from a succession of dreary day jobs. Then in late 2006, he unexpectedly landed a deal with a major label and, just six months later, the demos he had recorded at home became the basis of his acclaimed, debut album, Tales Of Grime And Grit.

Go It alone
Ruarri Joseph
Intro
[G][Bm][Em][C][G][D] x 2
[G] [Bm] [Em]
I was raised to have faith but my lessons were loose, they were short
[C] [G][D]
And I've learnt now that faith can't be won, can't be faked, can't be taught
[G] [Bm] [Em]
When I tried to survive and be true to the words that were spoke
[C] [G][D]
Must've cut more ties than I ever would wish or would hope
Chorus
[G] [Bm] [Em]
So don't bless my soul when I'm in need of air
[C] [G][D]
It was a long old twist and turn but it got us there
[G] [Bm] [Em]
Don't carry my bags down the long lonely street
[C] [G][D]
I can go it alone, just get me up onto my feet.
Solo
[G][Bm][Em][C][G][D] x 2
[G] [Bm] [Em]
I was raised to take care and don't dare to be sparing of trust
[C] [G][D]
Sometimes leading the way is a wish but it's rarely a must
[G] [Bm] [Em]
I should apologise and warn you of the space that I light
[C] [G][D]
So naive is this space even wrongs are mistaken for rights
Chorus
[G] [Bm] [Em]
So don't bless my soul when I'm in need of air
[C] [G][D]
It was a long old twist and turn but it got us there
[G] [Bm] [Em]
Don't carry my bags down the long lonely street
[C] [G][D]
I can go it alone, just get me up onto my feet.

I can go it alone,just get me up onto my feet.
[C] [G]
I can go it alone, just get me up onto my feet.
[C] [G]
I can go it alone,just get me up onto my feet.
I added an extra chorus cos I like it :)
It's an easy chord version, listen for feel.
