levity ball
from the album
pretties for you ( 1969 )
alice cooper

Am D7
i got my invitation to the annual levity ball
seeing the location was within my mirrored hall

C D7 C ( D7sus4 D7 [ ch ] D7sus2 [ /Ch ] )
walking in my room i found that i had nothing to find
i got into my evening wear and left my clothes behind

Am D7 Am D7
i sat down on the stairway seven hours at a time
C D7 C ( D7sus4 D7 [ ch ] D7sus2 [ /Ch ] )
writing all of this poetry that i knew would never rhyme
Am D7 Am D7
the memory i knew , i must have had when i came in
C D7 C ( D7sus4 D7 [ ch ] D7sus2 [ /Ch ] )
was of some varied places where i’d never ever been

( Am jam with bass notes : E , D# , D , C# , C , B , A# , A )

Am D7
then in came a cake all decorated in my name
Am D7
with four paper brown candles , all spelling out the same
C D7 C ( D7sus4 D7 [ ch ] D7sus2 [ /Ch ] )
the clock was passing out from time to time , i saw it all
C D7 C ( D7sus4 D7 [ ch ] D7sus2 [ /Ch ] )
beginning of the ending for my first levity ball
