URIAH HEEP - July Morning
(Hensley/Byron)
Tabbed by Alex Volperts aka Quizzus
INTRO:
Keyboards arranged for guitar (I use very slightly distorted sound
with high settings of compressor and chorus and fast phasing to acheive some
similarity with Hammomd sound):
Guitar I - the following is played 6 times (this is notated below as one
round). For the first two rounds only Guitar I plays the following pattern:
F C F

VERSE:
Clean sound with slight reverberation:
Cm - VIII Fm - VIII A# - VI - arpegios
There I was on a July morning looking for love.
With the strength of a new day dawning and the beautiful sun.
At the sound of the first bird singing I was leaving for home.
With the storm and the night behind me and a road of my own.
REFRAIN:
Overdrive, chorus
D#5 G5 G#5 A#5
E-------I-------I--------I--------------|I
B-------I-------I--------I--------------|I
G-------I-------I--------I--------------|I
D---8---I---5---I--6--8--I--------------|I
A---6---I---5---I--6--8--I--------------|I
E---6---I---3---I--4--6--I-8-7-6-5-4-3--|I
With the day
came the resolution
I'll be looking for you.

B-------I-------I--------I--------|I
G-------I-------I--------I--------|I
D---8---I---5---I--6--8--I---10---|I
A---6---I---5---I--6--8--I---10---|I
E---6---I---3---I--4--6--I---8----|I
La la la laaaa
Repeat verse and refrain:
I was looking for love in the strangest places.
There wasn't a stone that I left unturned.
I must have tried more than a thousand faces,
but not one was aware of the fire that burned
In my heart,
in my mind,
in my soul.
In my heart,
in my mind,
in my soul.
KEYBOARDS SOLO:
I did not tab this for guitar...I do not tab solos at all :)
Guitar part is based on strumming of Cm - VIII, Fm - VIII and A# - VI
Refrain one more time:
E-------I-------I--------I--------------|I
B-------I-------I--------I--------------|I
G-------I-------I--------I--------------|I
D---8---I---5---I--6--8--I--------------|I
A---6---I---5---I--6--8--I--------------|I

A---6---I---5---I--6--8--I---10---|I
E---6---I---3---I--4--6--I---8----|I
RISING VOICE LINE AND BREAK:
While David sings his brillant falceto "La la laaaaaaaa's":
Clean sound strumming Cm - VIII, C - VIII, Fm - VIII, G - X
And then overdriven guitar line twice:
E-----------I-------I-------------------------------I---------|I

D-5-------5-I-4---4-I--------------5-4-5------------I---------|I
A---6---6---I---5---I--8-6-8-6-5-6------------------I---------|I
E-----8-----I-------I-------------------------------I---------|I
Refrain and verse one more time:
There I was on a July morning - I was looking for love.
With the strength of a new day dawning and the beautiful sun.
At the sound of the first bird singing I was leaving for home.
With the storm and the night behind me and a road of my own.
With the day
came the resolution
I'll be looking for you.
SOLOS and OUTRO:
Mad Manfred Mann's solo and Mick wah-wah guitar frenziness are accompanied
with this guitar line.
Drive, chorus.

| Sounds like the person in the song is searching for love, but keeps getting into messes and getting hurt. They keep leaving each bad relationship (With the storm and the night behind me) and searching, with even more hope that maybe the next time it'll be the right person. Excellent song, too. I love how the beginning just kicks straight into high-gear, then it quiets down as the lyrics start, then the last part...wow. Great song! | |

| lmao nobody commented this song? Well- this is a great song. It's like, 10 minutes long and I just forget myself in it and then wake up again in the middle of the guitar solo and then I think, THIS IS AN AWESOME SONG! Yes. But I think this song is about loneliness, and looking for love and not finding it, and just going through life alone. Kinda says itself. Unless there's a hidden meaning behind all that shit that I can't see? =) | |

| I don't really think it's about loneliness. Yeah, maybe it discusses this matter, but it isn't the most important topic in it. I think there is a big dose of hope into this song - "With the strength of a new day dawning, and the beautiful sun" - "With the storm and the night behind me". It's kind of like a new begining. I feel it as a quite optimistic song. | |
