"Masquerade" - Berlin (capo 1)

Intro: B5 - A5 - E5 - B5 - A5 - B5

Verse:
B5                                A5
  The painted faces on the street, caricatures of long ago
E5                                  B5
  Oh they were young and oh so sweet, down beyond the boulevard
A5                               E5  
  Knock on doors and empty halls, and still sometimes remember
B5                         B5                         
  The masquerade's forever (the masquerade's forever)


Chorus:
B5                A5
When you see the price they paid
    E5                   B5               A5   B(let ring) B(let ring)
I'm sure you'll come and join the masquerade


Verse:
B5                               A5
  The reeling figures pass on by, like ghosts in some forgotten play
E5                               B5
  Beneath the black and empty sky, music plays and figures dance
A5                               E5  
  With partners chosen by chance, and still some times remember
B5                         B5                         
  The masquerade's forever (the masquerade's forever)


Bridge:
D5                    C5             G5         B5           A5
  They reached for tomorrow, but tomorrow's, more of the same
D5                      C5              G5      B5      A5      A5 
  So they reached for tomorrow, but tomorrow never came


Chorus:
B5                 A5
When you hear the price they paid
    E5                   B5               A5
I'm sure you'll come and join the masquerade
B5                 A5
When you hear the price they paid
    E5                   B5               A5   B(let ring) B(let ring)
I'm sure you'll come and join the masquerade



Verse:
B5                             A5
  One by one and two by two, past eight by tens in shattered frames
E5                               B5
  The players try to leave the room , frantic puppets on a string
A5                               E5  
  And all the while the music sings, and still sometimes remember
B5                         B5                         
  The masquerade's forever (the masquerade's forever)
 

Chorus: (repeat as desired)
B5                 A5
When you hear the price they paid
    E5                   B5               A5
I'm sure you'll come and join the masquerade
B5                 A5
When you hear the price they paid
    E5                   B5               A5
I'm sure you'll come and join the masquerade
B5                 A5
When you hear the price they paid
    E5                   B5               A5
I'm sure you'll come and join the masquerade
B5                 A5
When you hear the price they paid
    E5                   B5               A5      B(let ring)
I'm sure you'll come and join the masquerade
