"7 Rooms Of Gloom"
(Holland - Dozier - Holland)
Intro/Chorus 1:
Bbm Gb
I see a house, a house of stone
(Seven rooms)
Fm7
A lonely house 'cause now you've gone
(Filled with gloom)
Abm Emaj7
Seven rooms, that's all it is, seven rooms of gloom
(Just seven rooms of gloom)
Amaj7 D
I live with emptiness
(Filled with emptiness)
Gb
Without your tenderness
Verse 1:
Ebm Ebm/Gb
You took the dream I had for us
Abm Ebm/Bb
Turned my dreams into dust
Ebm Ebm/Gb
I watch the phone never rings
Abm Ebm/Bb
I watch the door that never rings
Ebm Ebm/Gb
Bring you back into my life
Abm Ebm/Gb
Turn this darkness into light
Ebm Ebm/Gb
I'm all alone in this house
Ab Ebm/Bb
Turn this house into a home
Cb6 Cb Gb Bb7/D
I need your touch to comfort me
Cb6 Cb Gb Bb7/D
The tender, tender arms that once held me
Chorus 2:
Without your love, your love inside
This house is just a place to run and hide
Seven rooms, that's all it is - seven rooms of gloom
Rooms of emptiness
Without your tenderness
Verse 2:
Don't make me live from day to day
Watching the clock that ticks away
Another day, another way
Another reason for me to stay
I need you here, here with me
I need your loving desperately
I'm all alone, all alone
In this house that's not a home
I miss your love I once had known
I miss your kiss that was my very, very own
Chorus 3:
Empty silence surrounding me
Lonely walls they stare at me
Seven rooms, that's all it is - rooms of gloom
I live with emptiness
Without your tenderness
Verse 3:
All the windows are painted black
And wait right here until you come back
I'll keep waiting, waiting
Until your face again I see
[continue w/unintelligible backing vocals to fade]

This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official FOUR TOPS tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
