"Pandora's Golden Heebie Jeebies" (Gary Alexander)
Jim Yester, in the liner notes to the Japanese _From The Original Master Tapes_ CD (Warner/Pioneer WPCP-3536):
A very flippant title for a very inspired song. Influenced by Jules' Involvement in Eastern Philosophy, this was one of the songs that Prompted Timothy Leary to comment that the group was a major contributor To the spiritual awareness of the youth of the day.
Notes from AWR:
A) I've transcribed this in D even though it sounds about 3/4 step sharp;
B) the bass holds a D pedal through the entire song.

Verse 1:
Dm7 [xx0565] G/D [xx0787] I have walked along the paths of dark and light Dm7 G/D And I have seen the sunrise and I've seen the night Dm7 G/D I've seen the calm before the storm and then the fight Eb/D [xx0343] And now I see the sparrows as they begin to fly Dm [xx0765] Cm/D [xx0543] And all that's left for me to do Dm Is cry
Verse 2:
I've had my view of happiness and my view of despair I've cleaned out all the cobwebs and I've learned how to compare I've seen all of the circles and I've had my last affair And now I see the sparrows as they begin to fly And all that's left for me to do Is cry
Chorus:
111 Bb/D [xx0010] Ab/D [xx0898] Thinking that I was lost then finding the end to all beginnings Bb/D Ab/D Gave to me the key made of lead and golden Gb/D [xx0676] E/D [xx0454] Freeing locks, Pandora's boxes, devils are expended D And I'm finally free
