"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]

-- another ace 60's tab from Andrew Rogers
