Capo 3rd fret

 C  G  *Am  *Am/G *Am/F  E  E5+ 


            A
Where's the orchestra?
Am             Am7      Am6  E/G#
Wasn't this supposed to be a musical?
G6      E5+/Ab   A
Here I am in the balcony
A7M              E5+/Ab            Em7        G/A
How the hell could I have missed the overture?
  D7M    B7
I like the scenery
Bm7                Dm         E5+
Even though I have absolutely no

 A
Idea at all
Am            Am7     Am6      E/G#
What is being said despite the dialogue
G6 E5+/Ab   A
There's the leading man
    A7M          E5+/Ab         Em7        G/A
The movie star who never faced an audience
D7M       B7
Where's the orchestra?

Bm7
After all
        F     G C            C/B
This is my big  night on the town
   Am7                 Em
My introduction to the theatre crowd
    F                                Bm7(b5)
I assumed that the show would have a song
         E5+
So I was wrong

           A
At least I understand
Am          Am7 Am6      E/G#
All the innuendo and the irony
G6  E5+/Ab  A
And I     appreciate
    A7M            E5+/Ab      Em7              G/A
The roles the actors played, the point the author made
    D7M     B7(no3rd)
And after the closing lines
C?7 A/C#      F#7sus      F#7
  And after the curtain calls
    *G              D/F#
The curtain falls
   Dm/F             E7              [ A ]
On empty chairs ...     where's the orchestra?
