...7-ROOMS OF GLOOM... by The Four Tops ----------------------................. *from 'Reach Out' (1967)* (modified from Andrew Roger's original tab) *CAPO 1st FRET* (Original Key: Bbm) Chorus 1:

^Am I see a house, a ^Fhouse of stone, (Seven... rooms), A lonely house 'cos now you've ^Em7gone. (Filled... with gloom).

Seven ^Gmrooms, (Just seven rooms, that's all it is, Seven rooms of ^Ebmaj7gloom. ...Of gloom).

I live with ^Abmaj7emptiness,^Db without your ^Ftenderness. (Filled with emptiness).

Verse 1:

You took the ^Dmdream I had for us; turned my ^Gmdreams into ^Dmdust. I watch the ^Dmphone; never rings, I watch the ^Gmdoor that never ^Dmrings. Bring you ^Dmback into my life; turn this ^Gmdarkness into ^Dmlight. I'm all a-^Dmlone in this house, turn this ^Gmhouse into a ^Dmhome.

Bridge 1:

^Bb6 I need your ^Bbtouch to ^Fcomfort me,^A7 ^Bb6 The tender, tender ^Bbarms, that ^Fonce held me.^A7

Chorus 2:

Without your ^Amlove, your love in-^Fside, (Seven... rooms), This house is just a place to run and ^Em7hide. (Filled... with gloom).

Seven ^Gmrooms, (Just seven rooms, that's all it is, Seven rooms of ^Ebmaj7gloom. ...Of gloom).

Rooms of ^Abmaj7emptiness,^Db without your ^Ftenderness. (Rooms of emptiness).

Verse 2:

Don't make me ^Dmlive from day to day, watching the ^Gmclock that ticks a-^Dmway. Another ^Dmday, another way, another ^Gmreason for me to ^Dmstay. I need you ^Dmhere, here with me, I need you ^Gmdarling, desperate-^Dmly. I'm ^Dmall alone, all alone, in this ^Gmhouse that's not a ^Dmhome.

Bridge 2:

^Bb6 I miss your ^Bblove, I ^Fonce had known.^A7 ^Bb6 I miss your ^Bbkiss, that was my ^Fvery, very own.^A7

Chorus 3:

^Am Empty silence, sur-^Frounding me, (Seven... rooms), Lonely walls, they stare at ^Em7me. (Filled... with gloom).

I live with ^Abmaj7emptiness,^Db without your ^Ftenderness. (Filled with emptiness).

Verse 3:

All the ^Dmwindows are painted black, and wait right ^Gmhere, until you come ^Dmback. I'll keep ^Dmwaiting, waiting, until your ^Gmface, again I ^Dmsee.
