Notes
  • Originally part of the abandoned Adult/Child album, this was finally released on the Good Vibrations box-set.
  • A big band sound; possibly this song was intended for Frank Sinatra or someone similar
  • Effectively pained vocal from Carl; Marilyn haunting break with the lyrics "heaven is far away, angels no longer play" is downright scary.
Chords
(original key: F#)


Fmaj7..............F6........................Cm/F
The flame of love we had has finally died
Fmaj7................F6..................Cm/F....Bbmaj7
Can't take this emptiness it left inside
.......Am7.........D7.....................Gm7....................Bbm6
It's over now, and though I played the role I lost my soul
........F/C....C#dim.....Dm7...Dm7/C
It's still within your heart
......G/D.....C#dim....F/C......G7/B
It's over now, it's over now
Bb..............................F#maj7...........Fmaj7....F6....Fmaj7....F6
Shades of blue and purple haunt me

Fmaj7...............F6.........................Cm/F
The noise outside my window carries on
Fmaj7.............F6......................Cm/F....Bbmaj7
Like distant bugles love is very gone
.......Am7.......D7..............Gm7..................Bbm6
It's over now, it took a part of me, the heart of me
........F/C......C#dim...Dm7...Dm7/C
To watch it fade away
......G/D...C#dim.....F/C......G7/B
It's over now, it's over now

Shades of blue and purple haunt me

Fm...........Fm7...........Bb7...Ebmaj7...Eb6
Heaven, Heaven is far away
Ebm7/Ab...Ab7.....Dbmaj9..Db..Gm7/C
Angels no longer play

Fmaj7........F6..........................Cm/F
I need to take this fear and force it down
Fmaj7............F6...........................Cm/F....Bbmaj7
And just pretend that you are not around
.......Am7......D7...............Gm7...............Bbm6
It's over now, I'll put a Frank Sinatra album on
..........F/C......C#dim....Dm7...Dm7/C
And cry my blues away
.......G/D...C#dim...F/C......G7/B
It's over now, it's over now
Bb..............................F#maj7...........Fmaj7....F6....Cm/F
Shades of blue and purple haunt me
