"Masquerade" - Berlin (capo 1)
Intro: B - A - Em - B - A - B
Verse:
B A
The painted faces on the street, caricatures of long ago
Em B
Oh they were young and oh so sweet, down beyond the boulevard
A Em
Knock on doors and empty halls, and still sometimes remember
B B
The masquerade's forever (the masquerade's forever)
Chorus:
B A
When you see the price they paid
Em B A B(let ring) B(let ring)
I'm sure you'll come and join the masquerade
Verse:
B A
The reeling figures pass on by, like ghosts in some forgotten play
Em B
Beneath the black and empty sky, music plays and figures dance
A Em
With partners chosen by chance, and still some times remember
B B
The masquerade's forever (the masquerade's forever)
Bridge:
D C G B A
They reached for tomorrow, but tomorrow's, more of the same
D C G B A A/E
So they reached for tomorrow, but tomorrow never came
Chorus:
B A
When you hear the price they paid
Em B A
I'm sure you'll come and join the masquerade
B A
When you hear the price they paid
Em B A B(let ring) B(let ring)
I'm sure you'll come and join the masquerade
Verse:
B A
One by one and two by two, past eight by tens in shattered frames
Em B
The players try to leave the room, frantic puppets on a string
A Em
And all the while the music sings, and still sometimes remember
B B
The masquerade's forever (the masquerade's forever)
Chorus: (repeat as desired)
B A
When you hear the price they paid
Em B A
I'm sure you'll come and join the masquerade
B A
When you hear the price they paid
Em B A
I'm sure you'll come and join the masquerade
B A
When you hear the price they paid
Em B A
I'm sure you'll come and join the masquerade
B A
When you hear the price they paid
Em B A B(let ring)
I'm sure you'll come and join the masquerade
