Capo 3rd fret

 C5  G5  *A5  *A5 *A5  E5  E5+ 


            A5
Where's the orchestra?
A5             A5      A5  E5
Wasn't this supposed to be a musical?
G5      E5   A5
Here I am in the balcony
A5              E5            E5        G5
How the hell could I have missed the overture?
  D5    B5
I like the scenery
B5                D5         E5+
Even though I have absolutely no

 A5
Idea at all
A5            A5     A5      E5
What is being said despite the dialogue
G5 E5   A5
There's the leading man
    A5          E5         E5        G5
The movie star who never faced an audience
D5       B5
Where's the orchestra?

B5
After all
        F5     G5 C5            C5
This is my big  night on the town
   A5                 E5
My introduction to the theatre crowd
    F5                                Bm7(b5)
I assumed that the show would have a song
         E5+
So I was wrong

           A5
At least I understand
A5          A5 A5      E5
All the innuendo and the irony
G5  E5  A5
And I     appreciate
    A5            E5      E5              G5
The roles the actors played, the point the author made
    D5     B7(no3rd)
And after the closing lines
C?7 A5      F#7sus      F#5
  And after the curtain calls
    *G5              D5
The curtain falls
   D5             E5              [ A5 ]
On empty chairs ...     where's the orchestra?

OUTRO
 *A5  Ab5  *A5  Ab5 
 *A5  Ab5 *E5  *A5  Ab5 *E5  *A5  Ab5 *E5 
[melody: Allentown]                (repeat and fade)
