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
E-13 -----13-----------13-I-12-------12----------12-I-8-------8----------8--|I
B---13--------13----13----I----13-------13----13----I---10------10----10----|I
G------14--------14-------I-------12-------12-------I------10------10-------|I
D-------------------------I-------------------------I-----------------------|I

Guitar II (Mick Box part - overdrive & chorus)
Starts when the keyboards (Guitar I) pattern goes for the
third and the fourth rounds:

E-13-13-13-13-I-13-11 -----------I-13-13-13-13-I-13-11----------15--|I

                                         I- bend this note one tone up
                                         I  and graduly return to its normal
                                         I  pitch (A-->G) - fast downstrokes
                                         V

VERSE:
Clean sound with slight reverberation:
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/u/uriah_heep/july_morning_tab_ver_2.html ]
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.

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.

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.
