Jimi Hendrix - Burning of the midnight lamp

^FThe morning is dead a^Dmnd the day is too ^BmThere's nothing left here to lead me, b^Eut the velvet moon ^CAll my loneliness I^G have felt today ^DIt's a little more than enough ^Fto make a man throw himself a^F#way ^GAnd I continue^{F F#} t^Go burn the Midnight Lamp,^{F F#} a^Glone

^FNow the smiling portrait of you ^DmIs still hanging on my frowning wall ^BmIt really doesn't, it really doesn't bother me ^Etoo much at all ^CIt's just the uh ever falling dust^G that makes it so hard for me to see ^DThat forgotten earring laying on the floor ^FFacing coldly towards the do^F#or ^GAnd I continue^{F F# G} to burn the Midnight Lamp^F, ^{F# G}all alone Burn!

^FSo here I sit to face ^Dmthat same old fireplace ^BmGetting ready for the same old explosion ^EGoing through my mind ^CAnd soon enough the time will tell ^GAbout the circus in the wishing well ^DAnd someone who will buy and sell for me ^FSomeone who will toll my be^F#ll ^GAnd I continue ^{F F# G} to burn the same old lamp,^{F F# G}alone
