[Verse 1]
F                    Dm
  The morning is dead  and the day is too
B                                       E
  There's noth-ing left here to lead me   but the velvet moon
C                   G
 All my lone-li-ness I have felt to - day
D                               F                F#              G
  It's a little more than enough to make a man throw himself away

(use wah-wah until you get this point)

And I continue to burn the midnight lamp, alone.

(repeat intro riff)

[Verse 2]
F                                 Dm
  Now the smiling portrait of you is still hanging on my frowning wall
B                                               E
  It really doesn't, it really doesn't bother me too much at all
C                                      G 
  It's just the ever falling dust that   makes it so hard for me to see
D                                           F                        F#    G
  that forgotten earring laying on the floor facing coldly towards the door
(riff 2)
And I continue to burn the midnight lamp, all alone

[Solo]
(wah-wah goes on there)

Burn!
Yeah, yeah
Lonely, lonely, lonely
Loneliness is such a drag!

(repeat intro riff)

[Verse 3]
F                      Dm
  So here I sit to face  that same old fireplace
B                                         E
  getting ready for the same old explosion going through my mind
C                                G
  and soon enough time will tell   about the circus in the wishing well
D                                         F                          F#   G
  and someone who will buy and sell for me, someone who will toll my bell
(riff 2)
And I continue to burn the same old lamp, alone

[Outro]
(riff 2)
Yeah
Darling, can you hear me calling you?
So lonely
Gonna blow my mind
Yeah, yeah
Lonely, lonely...
My mind
(fading)
