D7 G C D
/ / / / / / / / / / / / / / / /
Verse 1:
D7 G C D
You come to me at midnight, and say its dark in here
D7 G C D
You know you robbed me of my sight, and light is what I fear
Bm /A E/G# Em/G
I tell you that I can not see, but you persist in showing me
D G D
Those bangles that I paid for long ago
Chorus:
F Bb
And though my face is smiling
F Am/E Dm
I'm really feeling low
F Bb
Though you say you're with me
F Am/E D
I know that it's not so
G A G D [4: 2X]
/ / / / / / / / / / / / / / / /
G A G (D)
/ / / / / / / / / / / /
Verse 2:
Your skin crawls up an octave, your teeth have lost their gleam
The peach has snuggled closer down into the clotted cream
And for some unknown reason my watch begins to chime
D G C D
And though I beg and plead with you, you tell me its not time
[repeat chorus]
Instrumental break:
[organ solo - chords as per verse 2 and chorus]
Verse 3 [chords as per verse 2]:
The sun seeps through the window to see if we're still dead
To try to throw some light upon the gloom around our bed
At quarter past the doorbell rings, the water faucet drips and sings
And still my reason will not rhyme, and still you tell me its not time
[repeat chorus]
[repeat intro; end cold on D]
-- another ace 60's tab from Andrew Rogers
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 PROCOL HARUM 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.
