Intro D Bm7 Em A x2

D                 Bm7                  Em                             A 
Turn off the light when you leave, switch off that evil sound
D               Bm7          Em                          A
I'm trying hard not to breathe, till I'm on solid ground
D                          C#             F#m    D                 C#                  F#m
Sometimes that's just how it goes-,   take it from someone who knows
G                D                F#m                 G        Gm
Eyes wide, tongue tied, she   replied, "I'm lost in-side"

D                  Bm7     Em                         A 
I'm not your miracle man I'm not your spirit guide
D                Bm7              Em                       A 
Before this whole thing began I had some sense of pride
D                      C#                   F#m    D                        C#        F#m
Just one more night with your lips-,   your company is hard to eclipse
G                   D                F#m           G             Gm
Weak knees, yes indeed guaranteed, make my heart ble-ed

D               Bm7        Em                            A 
Give me a reason to breathe don't let my sun go down!
D                   Bm7         Em                      A 
I'll make you sad and receive I'll be your sa-cred ground
D              Bm7      Em          A 
Be my Medusa in Cha-ins, petrified
D               Bm7       Em 
Only your beauty rema-ins
A#                                                                                      D   Bm7 Em A      
Tell me, baby, one more time won't you be a friend o-f mine?

D  Bm7 Em A      

D                 Bm7      Em                            A 
Put out your e-   cigarette, take off your sequin shawl
D                  Bm7        Em                      A 
Just try your best to forget, that I once made you crawl
D                      C#                F#m   D                               C#              F#m
Just one more sway of your hips-,    I love the way your con-fidence slips
G                      D             F#m          G                             Gm
You should be out-lawed, dear  God, every single breath, I  a-ppla-ud

D               Bm7       Em                            A 
Give me a reason to breathe don't let my sun go- down!
D                   Bm7        Em                       A 
I'll make you sad and receive I'll be your sa-cred ground
D         Bm7             Em          A 
Be my Medusa in Cha-ins, petrified
D               Bm7        Em 
Only your beauty rema-ins        
A#                                                                                    D        
Tell me, baby, one more time won't you be a friend o-f- mine?

A Rose For Emily - The Zombies

A Rose for Emily
Artist: The Zombies
Composer: Rod Argent
Album: Odessey and Oracle


G                           D               Fdim                   A
    The summer is here at last          The sky is overcast, 
        Ddim                  A               Bm    E7
And no one brings a rose for Emily
G                             D                  Fdim                    A
    She watches her flowers grow         while lovers come and go, 
     Ddim                  A                    Bm         E7                   A
To give each other roses from her tree, but not a rose for Emily!

Bb               F                                C#dim               D
Emily------,  can't you see  there's nothing you can do
         (Emily, can't you see,              see----------------how the sun is...)

    Gdim                          D                      Adim                D         G
               There's loving everywhere but none----------for you----!
(...shi------------------------ning again,                but not  for you-----!)

G                        D                Fdim                        A
    Her roses are fading now,         she keeps her pride somehow
        Ddim                    A                       Bm    E7
That's all she has pro--tecting her from pain
G                     D                Fdim                      A
    And as the years go by,         she will grow old and die 
        Ddim          A                      Bm    E7
The roses in her garden fade a--way
       A                      Bm7    E7                     A7
Not one left for her grave, Not a rose for Emily 

Bb               F                                C#dim               D
Emily------,  can't you see  there's nothing you can do
         (Emily, can't you see,              see----------------how the sun is...)

    Gdim                          D                      Adim                D         G
               There's loving everywhere but none----------for you----!
(...shi------------------------ning again,                but not  for you-----!)

G                        D                Fdim                        A
    Her roses are fading now,         she keeps her pride somehow
        Ddim                    A                       Bm    E7
That's all she has pro--tecting her from pain

       A                      Bm7    E7                     A7
Not one left for her grave, Not a rose for Emily
