Too Much To Dream

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:

Last night your shadow fell upon my lonely room

I touched your golden hair and tasted your perfume

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

Then came the dawn

And you were gone

G F Eb [N.C.]

You were gone, gone, gone

I had too much to dream last night

Too much to dream

I'm not ready to face the light

I had too much to dream

Last night

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

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]
