Chords

I'm fixing a few versions of tabs to make them correct. There are two really good tabs for the intro and part of the verse and I'll be including them in this tab because I see them as perfectly correct. I'll give them credit to what they tabbed to be fair. This would be the first time the whole song is tabbed on the site, there's just portions with a lot of things missing. I'm 99% sure about this tab. Tabbed by: Alex Billy/James Holland on the Intro/Bella Godiva music portion of the verse Email: [email protected] Tuning: Standard Single released in 1967

[Verse 1] F Dm The morning is dead and the day is too B E There's nothing left here to lead me but the velvet moon C G All my loneliness I have felt today D F F# G It's a little more than enough to make a man throw himself away

And I continue to burn the midnight lamp, alone. (Repeat intro riff x1) [Verse 2] F Dm Now the smiling portrait of you is still hanging on my frowning wall B E It really doesn't, it really doesn't bother me too much at all C G It's just the ever falling dust that makes it so hard for me to see D F F# G that forgotten earring laying on the floor facing coldly towards the door (Riff 2) And I continue to burn the midnight lamp, all alone

[Solo]

Burn! Yeah, yeah Lonely, lonely, lonely Loneliness is such a drag! (Repeat intro riff x1) [Verse 3] F Dm So here I sit to face that same old fireplace B E getting ready for the same old explosion going through my mind C G and soon enough time will tell about the circus in the wishing well D F F# G and someone who will buy and sell for me, someone who will toll my bell (Riff 2) And I continue to burn the same old lamp, alone [Outro] (Riff 2) Yeah Darling, can you hear me calling you? So lonely Gonna blow my mind Yeah, yeah Lonely, lonely... My mind (fading) ************************* | / Slide up | p Pull-off | w Whammy *************************
