Solitaire: The Embers
Recorded on EMPRESS Records in 1961.
(Was a local hit, NYC..but didn't make the big time.
Still a great Doo-Wop number.)

F#Since you're D#mgone..C#since you're G#mgone..
F#since you're G#mgone..since you're C#gone..
#1.
C#Since Byou're F#gone I spend each lonely Bnight
G#mfeeling aBpart from C#where you F#are.
F#And the queen of hearts is there, Eto reF#mind Bme 
that I'm G#all alone, just C#playing soliF#taire.
F#Since you're gone..since you're D#gone..
since you're G#mgone..since you're C#gone..
#2.
Love was F#just another game for Btwo..I see G#mnow 
that's Ball it C#meant to F#you.
F#And my heart got lost somewhere Ein the Bshuffle..
now I'm G#all aG#mlone just C#playing soliF#taire.
BRIDGE:
F#In Beach roF#mance, there's a moment of F#7chance..
you G#mgamble to C#win or to F#lose.
You Bplay to Bmwin and you F#find the playing ends..
a G#mgame with no rules..C#just a game for fools.
#3.
Now, the F#joker has the laugh on Bme, but I G#mplayed 
my hand so C#careles..F#ly.
F#Anytime you want to D#mshare that old Bfeeling,
I'll be G#mdealing time a..A#mway with Fmsol..A#mi...BtaaF#aaire.
OUTRO:
F#Since you're gone..(since you're G#gone..)
