  Annette Tucker and Nancy Mantz wrote a bunch of punkadelic classics (unusual

  for women in that era) including this #11 hit for the Electric Prunes.

  

  Correction to earlier notes:  While some sources (including the original

  _Nuggets_ liners) identify the band as being from Seattle, a source close

  to the band has since informed me that they (along with the Strawberry

  Alarm Clock) attended Taft H.S. in the San Fernando Valley near Los

  Angeles.  An interview with singer Jim Lowe is scheduled for _Here 'Tis_

  #8; hopefully that will clear up this matter once and for all.  -- AWR

  Verse 1:

  

  	Dm                               C

  	   Last night your shadow fell upon my lonely room

  	Dm                                 C

  	   I touched your golden hair and tasted your perfume

  	Gm                                     Dm

  	   Your eyes were filled with love the way they used to be

  	Gm                                  Dm         G [N.C.]

  	   Your gentle hand reached out to comfort me

  

  	               Dm

  	Then came the dawn

  	             C#m

  	And you were gone

  	          G     F     Eb [N.C.]

  	You were gone, gone, gone

  

  Chorus:

  

  	Dm                     G

  	   I had too much to dream last night

  	Dm               G

  	   Too much to dream

  	Dm                   G

  	   I'm not ready to face the light

  	Dm                     A

  	   I had too much to dream

  	      Dm   C  Bb  C

  	Last night

  	      Dm   C  Bb  C

  	Last night

  

  Verse 2:

  

  	The room was empty as I staggered from my bed

  	I could not bear the image racing through my head

  	You were so real that I could feel your eagerness

  	And when you raised your lips for me to kiss

  

  	Came the dawn

  	And you were gone

  	You were gone, gone, gone

  

  [repeat chorus 2X]

  

  Coda:

  

  	    (C)           D    C   Bb   C

  	Oh, too much to dream

  	Oh, too much to dream

  	Too much to dream last night

  	Oh, too much to dream [repeat to fade]

  

  	[Note: the coda is in D major; listen to the rhythm guitar

  	 (heavily-tremoloed part in right channel) to hear this]
