Last Train To Clarksville
a while back, someone posted seeking some songs by The Monkees posted,
so i dug out my original Colgems albums, dusted the turntable, and heres
what i got:
(btw, i have no idea about the publishing of these, other than that they are
owned by Colgems Music)
the intro riff to this song is simple arpegging, in the first position G chord:
-----------------------|----------------|------------------------------------
-----------------------|----------------|------------0-----0-----------------
------0----------------|----0-----------|----0-----0-----0-------------------
----------3---2---0----|------3--2--0---|--------3-----2-----0---------------
-----------------------|----------------|------------------------------------
----3------------------|--3-------------|--3---------------------------------

this figure is repeated thruout the
verses, up until the chord change to
C7
G
take the last train to clarksville and i'll meet you at the station
you can be here at 4:30 cause i've made my reservation don't be
C7
slow, oh no no no, oh no no no
G
cause i'm leaving in the morning and i won't see you again
we'll have one more night together, til the morning brings my train and
i must
C7
go, oh no no no, oh no no no
D (i think - this is from memory right now)
and i don't know if i'm ever coming
G
home
the rest of the verses continue in the same way, but i still don't have the
bridge worked out yet
