(My prussian...)
Verse 1:
[C7]My Prussian-b[F]lue el[A7]ectric cl[Dm]ock's
[C7]Alarm bell ri[F]ngs, it w[A7]ill not s[Dm]top
And I can [Gm]see no e[F]nd in s[Bb]ight
And search in vain by [F] candlel[Gm]ight
For s[Cm]ome long road that [F/A]goes nowhere
For [D7/F#]some signpost that is not t[Gm]here
Chorus 1 (guitar plays each chorus as per intro):
And [Bb] e.[Eb/Bb].ven [Bb]my be[Ab]fud[Db/Ab]dled b[Ab]rain
Is [Bb]shi[Eb/Bb]ning b[Bb]rightly, q[Ab]uite[Db/Ab] insan[Ab]e
Verse 2:
The chandelier is in full swing
As gifts for me the three kings bring
Of myrrh and frankincense, I'm told
And fat old Buddhas carved in gold
And though it seems they smile with glee
I know in truth they envy me
Chorus 2:
And watch as my befuddled brain
Shines on brightly quite insane
Instrumental break:
(organ solo as per verse chords from "see no end..." onward)
(repeat intro)
Verse 3:
Above all else, confusion reigns
And though I ask, no one explains
My eunuch friend has been and gone
He said that I must soldier on
And though the ferris wheel spins 'round
My tongue it seems has run the ground
Chorus 3:
And croaks as my befuddled brain
Shines on brightly, quite insane
Coda (repeat chorus chord progression to fade):
Shine on
Ha! Shine on
Ha! Shine on
