Capo 4th Fret (whole song).


G5      E5        A5       D5               G5
Yes, my love, oh we are magicians, you and I
    E5          A5      D5                   G5
And soon we'll see, the cloud shapes in our eyes
    E5          A5      D5             G5
are blind, but fly, forever just the same,
    D5           G5
forever just the same

-VERSE-

G5                       E5
Oh you - you've been sleeping in the rough
  A5                                       D5
a travelling man took you by the hand, and still I wonder
G5                       E5
Why girl - you've got a pocket full of snuff
  A5                              D5
a meek and mild, ragtime child who sometimes wonders


-CHORUS-

C5                   D5
Why, the crowds all stare
                    G5                          E5
Mrs Porters crying, keep that kid away, from my bear
A5                      D5
I've got 10 bob on that one, and ill not be having no
G5                    E5
mad assed kid, do me wrong
    A5                    D5
and suddenly the curtain falls

-VERSE-

G5                    E5
Oh it - it may well hap' to be
            A5
That there's magic wed, in ragged threads
      D5
That you sleep under
G5                       E5
To find ? there's an comfort in melody
              A5
To a mild and meek, ragtime chic
    D5
And still I wonder


-CHORUS-

C5                   D5
Why, the crowds all stare
                    G5                      E5
Mrs Porters crying, keep that kid away, from my bear
A5                      D5
I've got 10 bob on that one, and ill not be having no
G5                E5
mad assed kid do me wrong
    A5                    D5
and suddenly, the curtain falls

-BRIDGE-

B5            E5
Mary's just a poor girl
                 A5                           D5
Turned alabaster call girl, with bruised and pale pins
B5             E5                                 A5
Mary's still a poor girl, so through those gutters crawl girl
                     D5
Your secrets sleeping in

-CHORUS-

C5                  D5
Why the crowds all stare
                    G5                        E5
Mrs Porters crying, keep that kid away from my bear
A5                     D5
I've got 10 bob on that one, and I'll not be having no
G5                  E5
mad assed kid do me wrong
     A5                  D5
and suddenly, the curtain falls

Yes, my love, oh we are magicians, you and I
    E5          A5      D5                   G5
And soon we'll see, the cloud shapes in our eyes
    E5          A5      D5             G5
are blind, but fly, forever just the same,
   D5            G5
forever just the same
