                        "Something Following Me"
                      (Gary Brooker - Keith Reid)

Intro:

	(solo piano, 6/8):

	G            F            C7           G
	/ / / / / /  / / / / / /  / / / / / /  / / / / / /

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
