                     (My prussian...)<br/>
 <br/>
 Verse 1:<br/>
 <br/>
 C7           F     A7       Dm<br/>
 My Prussian-blue electric clock's<br/>
 C7           F        A7       Dm<br/>
 Alarm bell rings, it will not stop<br/>
           Gm      F      Bb<br/>
 And I can see no end in sight<br/>
                       F        Gm<br/>
 And search in vain by   candlelight<br/>
      Cm                 F/A<br/>
 For some long road that goes nowhere<br/>
     D7/F#                      Gm<br/>
 For some signpost that is not there<br/>
 <br/>
 Chorus 1 [guitar plays each chorus as per intro]:<br/>
 <br/>
     Bb Eb/Bb Bb   Ab Db/Ab Ab<br/>
 And  e..ven  my befuddled brain<br/>
    Bb Eb/Bb Bb        Ab  Db/Ab Ab<br/>
 Is shining brightly, quite insane<br/>
 <br/>
 Verse 2:<br/>
 <br/>
 The chandelier is in full swing<br/>
 As gifts for me the three kings bring<br/>
 Of myrrh and frankincense, I'm told<br/>
 And fat old Buddhas carved in gold<br/>
 And though it seems they smile with glee<br/>
 I know in truth they envy me<br/>
 <br/>
 Chorus 2:<br/>
 <br/>
 And watch as my befuddled brain<br/>
 Shines on brightly quite insane<br/>
 <br/>
 Instrumental break:<br/>
 <br/>
 (organ solo as per verse chords from "see no end..." onward)<br/>
 <br/>
 [repeat intro]<br/>
 <br/>
 Verse 3:<br/>
 <br/>
 Above all else, confusion reigns<br/>
 And though I ask, no one explains<br/>
 My eunuch friend has been and gone<br/>
 He said that I must soldier on<br/>
 And though the ferris wheel spins 'round<br/>
 My tongue it seems has run the ground<br/>
 <br/>
 Chorus 3:<br/>
 <br/>
 And croaks as my befuddled brain<br/>
 Shines on brightly, quite insane<br/>
 <br/>
 Coda [repeat chorus chord progression to fade]:<br/>
 <br/>
 Shine on<br/>
 Ha!  Shine on<br/>
 Ha!  Shine on<br/>
 <br/>
