Verse 1: 
 
G F 
While standing at the junction 
C7 G 
On 42nd Street 
G F 
I idly kicked a pebble 
C7 G 
Lyin‘ near my feet 
Em B7 
Whoa, I hear a weird noise 
Em B7 
Take a look up and down 
G F 
The cause of the commotion 
C7 G 
Is right there on the ground 
 
Em Em+7/D# 
Imagine my surprise 
Em7/D Em6/C# 
Thought I‘d left it at home yeah 
Am 
But there‘s no doubt about it its my 
Em Am Em Em Am Em 
Own tombstone 
 
Verse 2: 
 
I went into a shop 
Bought a loaf of bread 
I sunk my teeth into it 
Thought I‘d busted my head 
Oh, I dashed to the dentist 
Hey, hey, I got an awful pain, yeah 
This man looks in my mouth and screams 
This boy‘s insane 
 
Imagine my surprise 
Thought I‘d left it at home, yeah 
There‘s a lump in my mouth of my 
Own tombstone 
 
Instrumental break: 
 
(abbreviated verse: piano solo over first four lines; guitar solo 
from "Imagine my surprise" onward) 
 
Verse 3: 
 
I went in to see a movie 
Got the only empty seat 
I tried to stretch out in it 
Something blockin‘ my feet 
Finally the lights came up 
And I could clearly see 
A slab of engraved marble 
Just starin‘ up at me 
 
Imagine my surprise 
I thought I‘d left it at home 
There‘s no doubt I‘m sittin on my 
Em Am Em [end cold] 
Own tombstone
