(Spoken over intro above) With a key, you unlock a door to imagination, Beyond it is another dimension
(Spoken over intro above) A dimension of sight, A dimension of sound, A dimension of mind
(Spoken over intro above) You're moving through a land of both shadow and substance, Of things and ideas
(Spoken over intro above) Guiding you through this wondrous journey is the hypnotic sound of the Twilight Tone
Verse
[F] [Dbaug] [F]
When I hear this melody, this strange illusion takes over me
[G] [Gm7] [Dbaug] [A]
Through a tunnel of the mind, perhaps a present or future time oh, oh,
[F] [Dbaug] [F]
Out of nowhere comes this sound, this melody that keeps spinning round and round
[G] [Gm7] [Dbaug] [F]
Pyramidal locomotion, from a mystic unknown zone
Chorus
[Gm/Ab] [A7/G] [A7sus/G] [Bbmaj7] [Dbmaj7#11] [Bbm6] [Fmaj7]
Here in the twilight, Here in the twi------light, twilight tone
Verse
[F] [Dbaug] [F]
Unpretentious girl from Memphis, saw the future through her third eye,
[G] [Gm7] [Dbaug] [A]
People came with skepticism, picking, testing her precision, no, wo, oh, oh,
[F] [Dbaug] [F]
Suddenly they heard this sound, this melody that keeps spinning round & round
[G] [Gm7] [Dbaug] [F]
A signpost up ahead is calling, through the mystic unknown zone
Chorus
[Gm/Ab] [A7/G] [A7sus/G]
Here in the twilight, (twilight swept away, feelin' the rhythm)
[Abmaj7] [G7sus4] [G7]
Here in the twi------li-------ght (twilight swept away, ba da, loo da, ba da loo da)
[Csus/Ab] [Bb7] [Dbmaj7#11] [Bbm6] [Fmaj7]
Here in the twi---light, twilight tone
[Guitar Solo]
[F] [Dbaug] [F] [G] [Gm7] [Dbaug] [A] [F] [Dbaug] [F] [G] [Gm7] [Dbaug] [F]
Break
N.C.
(Spoken)Submitted for your approval. One Mr. Miller, who's about to take a trip into oddness and obsolescence
N.C.
through a zone whose boundaries are that of imagination, accompanying him on this journey is the mesmerizing
N.C.
Sound of the Twilight Tone
Verse
[F] [Dbaug] [F]
On a cold & rainy night, one Mister Miller had a rare flight,
[G] [Gm7] [Dbaug] [A]
Glen was up there boppin' a rhythm, then the engine stopped to listen with him, Play that beat, oh, oh,
[F] [Dbaug] [F]
Suddenly he heard this sound, this melody that keeps spinning round & round,
[G] [Gm7] [Dbaug] [F]
Now he resides and plays trombone, in the mystic unknown zone
Outro
[Gm/Ab] [A7/G] [A7sus/G]
Here in the twilight,
[Abmaj7] [G7sus4] [G7] [Abmaj7] [G7sus4] [G7] [Abmaj7] [G7sus4] [G7]
Here in the twi------li-------ght, Here in the twi------li-------ght, Here in the twi------li-------ght
[Abmaj7] [G7sus4] [G7] [Abmaj7] [G7sus4] [G7] [Abmaj7] [G7sus4] [G7]
Here in the twi------li-------ght, Here in the twi------li-------ght, Here in the twi------li-------ght
[Abmaj7] [G7sus4] [G7] [Abmaj7] [G7sus4] [G7] [Abmaj7] [G7sus4] [G7]
Here in the twi------li-------ght, Here in the twi------li-------ght, Here in the twi------li-------ght
[Abmaj7] [G7sus4] [G7] [Abmaj7] [G7sus4] [G7] [Abmaj7] [G7sus4] [G7]
Here in the twi------li-------ght, Here in the twi------li-------ght, Here in the twi------li-------ght
(Repeat the outro section many times and then slow fade)
