Pandora`s Golden Heebie Jeebies
(Gary Alexander)
Jim Yester, in the liner notes to the Japanese _From The Original Master
Tapes_ CD (Warner/Pioneer WPCP-3536):
A very flippant title for a very inspired song. Influenced by Jules`
involvement in Eastern Philosophy, this was one of the songs that
prompted Timothy Leary to comment that the group was a major contributor
to the spiritual awareness of the youth of the day.
Notes from AWR:
a) I`ve transcribed this in D even though it sounds about 3/4 step sharp;
b) the bass holds a D pedal through the entire song.

Verse 1:
Dm7 [xx0565] G/D [xx0787]
I have walked along the paths of dark and light
Dm7 G/D
And I have seen the sunrise and I`ve seen the night
Dm7 G/D
I`ve seen the calm before the storm and then the fight
Eb/D [xx0343]
And now I see the sparrows as they begin to fly
Dm [xx0765] Cm/D [xx0543]
And all that`s left for me to do
Dm
Is cry
Verse 2:
I`ve had my view of happiness and my view of despair
I`ve cleaned out all the cobwebs and I`ve learned how to compare
I`ve seen all of the circles and I`ve had my last affair
And now I see the sparrows as they begin to fly
And all that`s left for me to do
Is cry
Chorus:
111
Bb/D [xx0010] Ab/D [xx0898]
Thinking that I was lost then finding the end to all beginnings
Bb/D Ab/D
Gave to me the key made of lead and golden
Gb/D [xx0676] E/D [xx0454]
Freeing locks, Pandora`s boxes, devils are expended
D
And I`m finally free
Verse 3:
And when all the tears are finally cried
And I am finally clean inside
The gentle winds will come and they will dry my mind
And I will see the sparrow that need no longer fly
And all that will be left for me to do
Is die
[end cold on D(m)addE: xx0230]
