Mr. Zero: The Yardbirds
#50 on UK Singles Charts on COLUMBIA Records in 1966
INTRO:
Gm Gb F E
#1.
EbDiamonds of silvery rain in the fountains
and Abmten-cent red roses from deEpartment store Ebcounters
AbmWatching the moonlight reEflect off the Ebriver
beDbmside where the Ebtrains cross the Dbmbridge and slow Ebdown
AbmTrains with white letters on Eblack iron Ebsides
and Abmwild rushing water that Eall rolls aEbway
And DbmLittle Miss EbSomeone does Dbmnot want to Ebstay
AbmEveryone's moving, with Eplaces to Ebgo
and DbmMr. ZerEbo, he Dbmsadly stands Ebstill, as the Abmwater 
goes one way, the Etrain goes anEbother
Mr. DbmZero stands Ebstill and Miss Someone don't 
AbmbotherBb  Eb  
#2.
EbYesterday's kiss will be cold by tomorrow, as 
Abmcampfires of Gbmidnight Edissolve in the Ebdarkness
The Abmroom is deserted, the Eblinds have been Ebdrawn
EbLittle Miss Someone has Dbmpacked up and Ebgone
AbmFast moving cars disEappear down the Ebhighway
with Abmsigns that say, Ehitch-hikers, do not Ebdisturb
Mr. DbmZero looks Ebquietly Dbmup from the Ebcurb
AbmMorning has faded, and Eshadows have Ebgrown, and Little
Miss Someone is Dbmon her way Ebhome
Mr. AbmZero stands Ewatching, her plane flies Ebabove
and with Dbmfrost-bitten Ebhands waves goodbye to his AbmloveBb  
#3.
EbWalks through the park on a bright summer Sunday
and Abmtapestry kittens that Ehung on the Ebwall
They all Abmdie in the air like a Esoft minor Ebchord
a Dbmvacancy Ebsign, and a Dbmbulletin Ebboard
Mr. AbmZero is wrapping his Ejacket aEbround him
speaking Abmkind words that should have been Esaid long Ebago
but DbmLittle Miss EbSomeone does Dbmnot want to Ebknow
The Abmnight is deserted, there's Edust on the Ebshelf
Mr. DbmZero sits Eblonely and Dbmtalks to himEbself
It's Abmtoo late to change, the fine Eline has been Ebcrossed
the Dbmcharades are all Ebdone, Mr Zero Abmhas AblostGb  Abm  
A sixties smash from Kraziekhat.

Mr. Zero: The Yardbirds

#50 on UK Singles Charts on COLUMBIA Records in 1966

INTRO:

Gm Gb F E

#1.

Diamonds of silvery rain in the fountains

Abm E Eb

and ten-cent red roses from department store counters

Abm E Eb

Watching the moonlight reflect off the river

Dbm Eb Dbm Eb

beside where the trains cross the bridge and slow down

Abm E Eb

Trains with white letters on black iron sides

Abm E Eb

and wild rushing water that all rolls away

Dbm Eb Dbm Eb

And Little Miss Someone does not want to stay

Abm E Eb

Everyone's moving, with places to go

Dbm Eb Dbm Eb Abm

and Mr. Zero, he sadly stands still, as the water

E Eb

goes one way, the train goes another

Dbm Eb

Mr. Zero stands still and Miss Someone don't

Abm Bb Eb

bother

#2.

Yesterday's kiss will be cold by tomorrow, as

Abm Gb E Eb

campfires of midnight dissolve in the darkness

Abm E Eb

The room is deserted, the blinds have been drawn

Eb Dbm Eb

Little Miss Someone has packed up and gone

Abm E Eb

Fast moving cars disappear down the highway

Abm E Eb

with signs that say, hitch-hikers, do not disturb

Dbm Eb Dbm Eb

Mr. Zero looks quietly up from the curb

Abm E Eb

Morning has faded, and shadows have grown, and Little

Dbm Eb

Miss Someone is on her way home

Abm E Eb

Mr. Zero stands watching, her plane flies above

Dbm Eb Abm Bb

and with frost-bitten hands waves goodbye to his love

#3.

Walks through the park on a bright summer Sunday

Abm E Eb

and tapestry kittens that hung on the wall

Abm E Eb

They all die in the air like a soft minor chord

Dbm Eb Dbm Eb

a vacancy sign, and a bulletin board

Abm E Eb

Mr. Zero is wrapping his jacket around him

Abm E Eb

speaking kind words that should have been said long ago

Dbm Eb Dbm Eb

but Little Miss Someone does not want to know

Abm E Eb

The night is deserted, there's dust on the shelf

Dbm Eb Dbm Eb

Mr. Zero sits lonely and talks to himself

Abm E Eb

It's too late to change, the fine line has been crossed

Dbm Eb Abm Ab Gb Abm

the charades are all done, Mr Zero has lost

A sixties smash from Kraziekhat.
