No Milk Today (2 harps: A/C)

by Herman's Hermits

Edit

This takes 2 harps, an A and a C.
C HARP:
 
-6  -6  -7 7   -7  -6   6   6   5 6
No milk today, my love has gone away
 5  5 -4     -4    5 -3”   5  5 -4  -4  5   -3”
The bottle stands forlorn, a symbol of the dawn
-6  -6  -7 7   -7  -6   6  6  5   6
No milk today, it seems a common sight
 5  5 -4    -4  5 -3”  5     5   -4   -4 5  -3”
But people passing by don't know the reason why
 
A HARP:
 
 7    7   -8    8    -9   8   -8   -8  7    -8
How could they know just what this message means
 7   -9 -9  9  -10    7   7  7  -8  -8   8
The end of my hopes, the end of all my dreams
 7   7     -8   8   -9   8 -8   -8    7   -8
How could they know the palace there had been
-9 -9   9   -10   7   7   7     -8   -8   7
Behind the door where my love reigned as queen
 
C HARP:
 
-6  -6  -7 7   -7 -6 6    6  5  6
No milk today, it wasn't always so
5   5 -4 -4  5  -3”   5    5    -4   -4 5 -3”
The company was gay, we'd turn night into day
 
A HARP:
 
 7   7    8     -8  -8 9  8     -8   9   8 -8
But all that's left is a place dark and lonely
7  7  8     -8   -8 9  8     -8    7   -8  8
A terraced house in a mean street back of town
 7  7   8   -8    -8  9   8   -8  9  8 -8
Becomes a shrine when I think of you only
-9    8  -8  7  -8 -7
Just two up two do-wn
 
C HARP:
 
-6  -6  -7 7   -7 -6  6   6  5   6
No milk today, it wasn't always so
5   5 -4 -4  5  -3”   5    5    -4   -4 5 -3”
The company was gay, we'd turn night into day
-6 -6 -7    7   -7  -6  6   6  5   6
As music played the faster did we dance
5   5   -4 -4   5  -3”    5    5   -4 -4   5 -3”
We felt it both at once, the start of our romance
