Something following me — Procol Harum

(solo piano, 6/8):

Verse

While standing at the junction On 42nd Street I idly kicked a pebble Lyin' near my feet Whoa, I hear a weird noise Take a look up and down The cause of the commotion Is right there on the ground

Em Em+7/D# Imagine my surprise Thought I'd left it at home yeah But there's no doubt about it its my Own tombstone

Verse

I went into a shop Bought a loaf of bread I sunk my teeth into it Thought I'd busted my head Oh, I dashed to the dentist Hey, hey, I got an awful pain, yeah This man looks in my mouth and screams This boy's insane

Imagine my surprise Thought I'd left it at home, yeah There's a lump in my mouth of my Own tombstone

Instrumental break:

(abbreviated verse: piano solo over first four lines; guitar solo from "Imagine my surprise" onward)

Verse

I went in to see a movie Got the only empty seat I tried to stretch out in it Something blockin' my feet Finally the lights came up And I could clearly see A slab of engraved marble Just starin' up at me

Imagine my surprise I thought I'd left it at home There's no doubt I'm sittin on my Em Am Em [end cold] Own tombstone
