Subject: CRD: 12:30 mamas and papas
Hi. As I have never seen any Mamas-and-Papas songs (except the obligatory
Monday Monday and California Dreaming, of course) at the sites I know,
I4ll try to post a few over the next few weeks (if none of you minds).
There also was a request for "The love of Ivy" last week; could anybody help
me with the lyrics, please?
Twelve-thirty John Phillips 1966
e e7 a7 A7 D D7
I used to live in New York City
e e7 a7 A7 D D7
Everything there was dark and dirty
e e7 a7 A7 D Bb D
Outside my window was a steeple
e (e7) Eb D
With a clock that always said 12:30
G D
Young girls are coming to the canyon
C e D
And in the morning I can see them walking
G D
I can no longer keep my blinds drawn
C c G
And I can't keep myself from talking.
At first so strange to feel so friendly
To say good morning and really mean it
To feel these changes happening in me
But not to notice till I feel it.
(Chorus)
Cloudy waters cast no reflection
Images of beauty lie there stagnant
Vibrations bounce in no direction
And lie there shattered into fragments.

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 MAMAS AND THE PAPAS 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.
