Burning Of The Midnight Lamp by Jimi Hendrix
Key: FF | Capo: 0fr |  Left-Handed 

    


F                    Dm  
The morning is dead and the day is too
Bm                                     E 
There's nothing left here to lead me, but the velvet moon
C                  G
All my loneliness I have felt today
D                              F                            Gb
It's a little more than enough to make a man throw himself away
G             F Gb G                        F Gb G
And I continue    to burn the Midnight Lamp,    alone 
:Intro Riff:
F
Now the smiling portrait of you
Dm
Is still hanging on my frowning wall
Bm                                               E
It really doesn't, it really doesn't bother me   too much at all
C                                 G
It's just the uh ever falling dust that makes it so hard for me to see
D               
That forgotten earring laying on the floor
F                           Gb
Facing coldly towards the door
G             F Gb G                         F Gb  G
And I continue      to burn the Midnight Lamp,     all alone   Burn!
:F----Gb- G----:
Yeah, yeah Lonely, lonely, lonely
G----
Loneliness is such a drag
:Intro Riff:
F                     Dm
So here I sit to face that same old fireplace
Bm
Getting ready for the same old explosion
E
Going through my mind
C
And soon enough the time will tell
G
About the circus in the wishing well
D
And someone who will buy and sell for me
F                          Gb
Someone who will toll my bell
G              F Gb  G                          F Gb G
And I continue        to burn the same old lamp,     alone
G-----F Gb G------- F Gb G-------
Yeah   Darling, can you hear me calling you?
So lonely
Gotta blow my mind
Yeah, yeah
Lonely, lonely . . .
