All my loneliness

I have felt today

And i continue
To burn the midnight lamp
Alone

Is stll hangin' on my frowning wall

Bm-----------------B----------------------E

It's just the, uh, ever falling dust

That forgotten ear-ring laying on the floor

Facing coldly toward the door

And i continue
To burn the midnight lamp

F
So here i sit to face

D
That same old fire place

B
Gettin' ready for the sam old explosion

E
Goin' through my mind

C
And soon enough time will tell

G2
About the circus and the wishingwell

D
And someone who will buy and sell for me

F
Someone who will toll my bell

G
And i continue to burn the midnight lamp
Alone
Darlin' do you here me callin' you
So lonely
Lonely!

~~~

Enjoy. And note- I can play only the opening riff since I've been playing for only a month ish. But I figure this is easy in terms of Hendrix music.
