As recorded by Procol Harum (From the 1968 Album SHINE ON BRIGHTLY) Tune down 1/2 step [Intro] A G A G [Verse 1]

B           E        G#7  C#m
My Prussian-blue electric clock's

B          E              G#7 C#m
Alarm bell rings, it will not stop

          F#m    E      A
And I can see no end in sight

                   E        F#m
And search in vain by candlelight

    Bm7                 E
For some long road that goes nowhere

    Fdim               F#m7
For some signpost that is not there

    A         G
And even my befuddled brain

A                    G
Is shining brightly, quite insane

[Verse 2]

B         E       G#7     C#m
The chandelier is in full swing

B            E            G#7   C#m
As gifts for me the three kings bring

   F#m              E          A
Of myrrh and frankincense, I'm told

                    E         F#m
And fat old Buddhas carved in gold

    Bm                   E
And though it seems they smile with glee

Fdim            C#dim F#m
I know in truth they  envy me

A                 G
And watch as my befuddled brain

A                  G
Shines on brightly quite insane

[Organ Solo] F#m E A E F#m Bm Em Bm Fdim C#dim F#m [Interlude] A G A G [Verse 3]

B         E        G#7    C#m
Above all else, confusion reigns

B            E       G#7   C#m
And though I ask, no one explains

          F#m    E            A
My eunuch friend has been and gone

                    E       F#m
He said that I must soldier on

    Bm7               E7
And though the ferris wheel spins 'round

   Fdim                F#m
My tongue it seems has run the ground

A                  G
And croaks as my befuddled brain

A                   G
Shines on brightly, quite insane

[Outro]

A     G        A     G        A     G  A
Shine on, hah, shine on, hah, shine on....
