The Rocky Horror Picture Show - The Time Warp
Originally in A, I play in E.
Everything works except the “step to the right”,
which is a G#, so I drop an octave.
Intro, straight 8ths
E
(Riff Raff) It’s asEtounding
Time is fF#leeting
DMadness Atakes its tEoll
(Magenta) Ahh...
Low octave, almost spoken
(Riff Raff) But listen Eclosely
(Magenta) Not for very much lF#onger
(Riff Raff) ID‘ve got to Akeep contErol
Up to the high octave on the I
I reEmember doing the TimeF#Warp
DDrinking Athose moments wEhen
The blackness would Ehit me
(Riff Raff & Magenta) And the void would be F#calling
Vox up to the 3 of the chord on “let’s”
(Guests) LCet’s Gdo the DTime WAarp agaEin
Hard stop after this line
CLet’s Gdo the TDime WAarp agEain
Out rubato, come back in on “left”
(Narrator) It’s just a jump to the lefBt
Hard stop after this line, but stay in time
Either drop an octave, or work around E
(Guests) And then a step to the rEi-i-i-i-ight
(Narrator) With your hand on your hipBs
(Guests) You bring your knees in tEight
But it’s the pelvic tAhrust
They really drive you inEsa-a-a-a-a-ne

(Magenta) It’s so dEreamy
Oh, fantasy F#free me
So you can’t Dsee me A
No not at aEll
In another diEmension
With voyeuristic intF#ention
Well seclDuded AI see Eall
(Riff Raff) EWith a bit of a mind flip
(Magenta) You’re into a timeF#slip
(Riff Raff) And Dnothing Acan ever be the sEame
(Magenta) You’re spaced out on sensaEtion
Up to the high octave
(Riff Raff) Like you’re under sedF#ation

(Columbia) Well, I was wEalking down the street
Just a-Ehaving a think
When a Esnake of a guy gave me an Eevil wink
He sAhook me up, he took me Aby surprise
He had a Epick-up truck and the Edevil’s eyes
He sBtared at me, and I fAelt a change
ETime meant nothing, Enever would again
