Verse 1:
G F
While standing at the junction
C7 G
On 42nd Street
G F
I idly kicked a pebble
C7 G
Lyin' near my feet
Em B7
Whoa, I hear a weird noise
Em B7
Take a look up and down
G F
The cause of the commotion
C7 G
Is right there on the ground
Em Em+7/D#
Imagine my surprise
Em7/D Em6/C#
Thought I'd left it at home yeah
Am
But there's no doubt about it its my
Em Am Em Em Am Em
Own tombstone
Verse 2:
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 3:
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
-- another ace 60's tab from Andrew Rogers
