Electric Prunes

Annette Tucker and Nancy Mantz wrote a bunch of punkadelic classics (unusual

for women in that era) including this #11 hit for the Electric Prunes.



Correction to earlier notes:  While some sources (including the original

_Nuggets_ liners) identify the band as being from Seattle, a source close

to the band has since informed me that they (along with the Strawberry

Alarm Clock) attended Taft H.S. in the San Fernando Valley near Los

Angeles.  An interview with singer Jim Lowe is scheduled for _Here 'Tis_

#8; hopefully that will clear up this matter once and for all.  -- AWR

Verse 1:



	Dm                               C

	   Last night your shadow fell upon my lonely room

	Dm                                 C

	   I touched your golden hair and tasted your perfume

	Gm                                     Dm

	   Your eyes were filled with love the way they used to be

	Gm                                  Dm         G [N.C.]

	   Your gentle hand reached out to comfort me



	               Dm

	Then came the dawn

	             C#m

	And you were gone

	          G     F     Eb [N.C.]

	You were gone, gone, gone



Chorus:



	Dm                     G

	   I had too much to dream last night

	Dm               G

	   Too much to dream

	Dm                   G

	   I'm not ready to face the light

	Dm                     A

	   I had too much to dream

	      Dm   C  Bb  C

	Last night

	      Dm   C  Bb  C

	Last night



Verse 2:



	The room was empty as I staggered from my bed

	I could not bear the image racing through my head

	You were so real that I could feel your eagerness

	And when you raised your lips for me to kiss



	Came the dawn

	And you were gone

	You were gone, gone, gone



[repeat chorus 2X]



Coda:



	    (C)           D    C   Bb   C

	Oh, too much to dream

	Oh, too much to dream

	Too much to dream last night

	Oh, too much to dream [repeat to fade]



	[Note: the coda is in D major; listen to the rhythm guitar

	 (heavily-tremoloed part in right channel) to hear this]
