Biography:
Eric Carmen (former vocalist of The Raspberries) is a pop/rock musician and singer-songwriter well known for his first single "All By Myself" (released in 1976) and his 1987 comeback single "Hungry Eyes" (written by J. DeNicola and F. Previte for the iconic 'Dirty Dancing' soundtrack). The former, a smooth ballad, was penned by Carmen based on a classical theme by Sergei Rachmaninoff. It was more recently covered by Celine Dion and also used in the opening scene of the movie 'Bridget Jones' Diary'.

Eric Carmen - All By Myself
Standard tuning for guitar. As this song is all piano the chords may not sound correct
the guitar but competent pianists should be able to work it out. The structure here may
be the same as some versions as two were released. One is a shorter one and the other
one has a piano solo in and is about seven minutes long.
