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...

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!
