(My prussian...)
Verse 1:
C7 F A7 Dm
My Prussian-blue electric clock's
C7 F A7 Dm
Alarm bell rings, it will not stop
Gm F Bb
And I can see no end in sight
F Gm
And search in vain by candlelight
Cm F/A
For some long road that goes nowhere
D7/F# Gm
For some signpost that is not there
Chorus 1 [guitar plays each chorus as per intro]:
Bb Eb/Bb Bb Ab Db/Ab Ab
And e..ven my befuddled brain
Bb Eb/Bb Bb Ab Db/Ab Ab
Is shining brightly, quite insane
Verse 2:
The chandelier is in full swing
As gifts for me the three kings bring
Of myrrh and frankincense, I'm told
And fat old Buddhas carved in gold
And though it seems they smile with glee
I know in truth they envy me
Chorus 2:
And watch as my befuddled brain
Shines on brightly quite insane
Instrumental break:
(organ solo as per verse chords from "see no end..." onward)
[repeat intro]
Verse 3:
Above all else, confusion reigns
And though I ask, no one explains
My eunuch friend has been and gone
He said that I must soldier on
And though the ferris wheel spins 'round
My tongue it seems has run the ground
Chorus 3:
And croaks as my befuddled brain
Shines on brightly, quite insane
Coda [repeat chorus chord progression to fade]:
Shine on
Ha! Shine on
Ha! Shine on
-- another ace 60's tab from Andrew Rogers
