(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
