Chorus D C G D Ive been there before and I aint seen nobody with a scary mask, D C G D We danced on the back of the camels hump, girls a-wearin the gypsy mask, D C G D We danced all night and danced all day, till our feet no longer could last, D Asus4 C D Vowed we alld be back one day, dance in the moonlight of our past. Intro Verse 2 D Asus4 C D* Foot by foot, and mile by mile, got closer to the city gates, D Asus4 C G Saw a boy, sat wrapped in shrouds, and this is what he say, D Asus4 C D Go home big brother, before its too late, or you'll have to pay, D Asus4 C G the city only brings trouble and despair, in a sneaky and deceptive way, Intro Verse 3 D Asus4 C D* I walked through the gates of a beautiful city, saw a man with a mask, D Asus4 C G One eyepatch and a crooked leg, and this is what he asked, D Asus4 I can see you're on a journey, and youve got a lot of money, C D* My knife says youll give it away, D Asus4 Well here I sit alone in the city, C (hold) G (hold) and this....... is what I say..... Chorus 2 D C G D Here I stand, alone in the city, everyone wearing scary masks, D C G D I look to my right, look to my left, all I see broken glass, D C G D Walked all day, walked all night, till my feet no longer could last, D Asus4 C D Vowed Id never be back no more, to the city of broken glass.
