# Date: Mon, 22 Jul 1996 20:19:06 -0500 (CDT) From: Patrick Glass <patrick@spy.net> Subject: CRD: "Effigy"--Creedence Clearwater Revival (Corrected) "Effigy" by Creedence Clearwater Revival from the album Willy and the Poorboys--1969 transribed hastily (too hastily, since I got it wrong and had to fix it) by Patrick Glass (patrick@spy.net) Just the chords, because I can't quite make out all of the solo, but once you know what the chords are, it's not too hard. This is the whole chord progression: C D Dsus4 D G C G E E7 E E7 Put it with the words and it sounds like this
CLast nighDt, Dsus4 D GI saw the fire Cburning Gon thEe palace doE7or E E7 CO'er the DlandDsus4, D GHumble subjects Cwatched with GmixeEd emotiE7on E E7 CWho is burning D Dsus4 D GWho is CburnAm7ing Ethe effigE7y E E7 (repeat that line again)
And here are all the words for the song: Last night, I saw the fire burning on the palace lawn O'er the land, humble subjects watched with mixed emotion Who is burning, who is burning, the effigy'' Who is burning, who is burning, effigy'' Last night, I saw the fire spreading to the palace door Silent majority wasn't keeping quiet anymore Who is burning, who is burning, the effigy'' Who is burning, who is burning, effigy'' Last night, I saw the fire spreading to the countryside In the morning, few were left to watch the ashes die Who is burning, who is burning, the effigy'' Who is burning, who is burning, effigy'' Why' Why' Why' Effigy! By far, my favorite CCR song. It just kicks. NOTE:You could play the second G as a G/B (x20003). It sounds pretty good that way, and might actually be the way it goes. But I wouldn't know :)
