Burning of the Midnight Lamp Chords & Lyrics by Jimi Hendrix
Burning of the Midnight Lamp
guitar chords lyrics
:Intro Riff:
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 F#
It's a little more than enough to make a man throw himself away
G F F# G F F# 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 F#
Facing coldly towards the door
G F F# G F F# G
And I continue to burn the Midnight Lamp, all alone Burn!
:F----F#- 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 F#
Someone who will toll my bell
G F F# G F F# G
And I continue to burn the same old lamp, alone
G-----F F# G------- F F# G-------
Yeah Darling, can you hear me calling you?
So lonely
Gotta blow my mind
Yeah, yeah
Lonely, lonely . . .
