i'm fixing a few versions of tabs to make them correct. there are two really good tabs
the intro and part of the verse and i'll be including them in this tab because i see them
perfectly correct. i'll give them credit to what they tabbed to be fair.
this would be the first time the whole song is tabbed on the site, there's just portions
alot of things missing. i'm 99% sure about this tab.

repeat intro once
repeat verse
Now the smiling portrait of you is still hanging on my frowning wall
It really doesn't bother me too much at all
It's just the ever falling dust that makes it so hard for me to see
that forgotten earring laying on the floor facing coldly towards the door
And I continue to burn the midnight lamp alone
|wah-wah goes on there|

repeat intro
repeat verse
So here I sit to face that same old fireplace
getting ready for the same old explosion going through my mind
soon enough time will tell about the circus and the wishing well
and someone who will buy and sell for me
someone who will toll my bell
And I continue to burn the midnight lamp alone
thanks, i tried to do the best i can.
