"You Set The Scene"

(Arthur Lee)

--- Part I (0:00) ---

Intro:

Acoustic guitar [8X]:

v v v v

Bass [enters 5th time]

v v v v v v v v

Verse 1:

B7addE [as per intro]

Where are you walking, I've seen you walking

Have you been there before? [cello: A -> F#]

Walk down your doorsteps, you'll take some more steps

What did you take them for?

A G6 [A: x77650 G6: x55430]

There's a private in my boat and he wears

Pins instead of medals on his coat

There's a chicken in my nest and she won't

Lay until I've given her my best

At her request she asks for nothing

You get nothing in return

If you want she brings you water

If you don't then you will burn

[repeat intro riff, 4X w/bass each time]

Verse 2:

You go through changes, it may seem strange

Is this what you're put here for?

You think you're happy and you are happy

That's what you're happy for

There's a man who can't decide if he should

Fight for what his father thinks is right

There are people wearing frowns who'll screw you up

But they would rather screw you down

At my request I ask for nothing

You get nothing in return

If you're nice she'll bring me water

If you're not then I will burn

[repeat intro]

String break [2X]:

/ / / / / / / / / / / / / / / /

/ / / / / / / / / [drum fill] / /

--- Part II (2:20) ---

Horn break:

/ / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / /

Verse 1:

This is the time and life that I am living

And I'll face each day with a smile

For the time that I've been given's such a little while

And the things that I must do consist of more than style

[1: There are places that I am going

4: There'll be time for you to start all over]

Verse 2:

This is the only thing that I am sure of

And that's all that lives is gonna die

And there'll always be some people here to wonder why

And for every happy hello, there will be good-bye

There'll be time for you to put yourself on

[repeat horn break]

Verse 3:

Everything I've seen needs rearranging

And for anyone who thinks it's strange

Then you should be the first to want to make this change

And for everyone who thinks that life is just a game

Do you like the part you're playing

Bridge (4:03):

/ / / / / / / /

I see your picture

It's in the same old frame

We meet again

/ / / / / / / /

You look so lovely

You with the same old smile

Stay for a while

I need you so, oh, oh, oh, oh

And if you take it easy

I'm still teethin'

I wanna love you, but

[N.C.]

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

/ / / / / / / /

/ / / /

[repeat verse 1]

Coda (5:51):

This is the time and this is the time and

It is time, time, time, time, time, time, time, time, time...

Horns [repeat to fade]:

/ / / / / / / /
