Verse 1:
G F
While standing at the junction
C7 G
On 42nd Street
G F
I idly kicked a pebble
C7 G
Lyin' near my feet
Em B7
Whoa, I hear a weird noise
Em B7
Take a look up and down
G F
The cause of the commotion
C7 G
Is right there on the ground
Em Em+7/D#
Imagine my surprise
Em7/D Em6/C#
Thought I'd left it at home yeah
Am
But there's no doubt about it its my
Em Am Em Em Am Em
Own tombstone
Verse 2:
I went into a shop
Bought a loaf of bread
I sunk my teeth into it
Thought I'd busted my head
Oh, I dashed to the dentist
Hey, hey, I got an awful pain, yeah
This man looks in my mouth and screams
This boy's insane
Imagine my surprise
Thought I'd left it at home, yeah
There's a lump in my mouth of my
Own tombstone
Instrumental break:
(abbreviated verse: piano solo over first four lines; guitar solo
from "Imagine my surprise" onward)
Verse 3:
I went in to see a movie
Got the only empty seat
I tried to stretch out in it
Something blockin' my feet
Finally the lights came up
And I could clearly see
A slab of engraved marble
Just starin' up at me
Imagine my surprise
I thought I'd left it at home
There's no doubt I'm sittin on my
Em Am Em [end cold]
Own tombstone
-- 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.
