Masquerade- Edward Bear – 1971
[Verse 1]
G E
Paint your face and run around.
C D
Dance in silky satin gowns.
C F C
Turn my full length mirror dow-hown,
G E
Oh you think you're safe and sound.
D7
But you know what I found.
[Verse 2]
G E
Base this lifetime on a lie,
C D
Which you then proceed to hide.
C F C
Comes a time I can't deci-hide.
G E
But don't you open up your eyes,
D7
To think it's time that you tried to see...
[Chorus 1]
G G7
Your masquerade,
E D7
And that's an awful game to play.
G G7
It's just a masquerade,
C F C
Making you the queen of diamonds honey,
E
On the ace, of spa-ya-ya-yades.
[Verse 3]
G E
Paint your face and run around.
C D
Dance in silky satin gowns.
C F C
Turn my full length mirror dow-hown,
G E
Oh you think you're safe and sound.
D7
I thought you'd know I'd found...
[Chorus 2]
G G7
Your masquerade,
E D7
And that's an awful game to play.
G G7
It's just a masquerade,
C F C
Making you the queen of diamonds honey,
E
On the ace, of spa-ya-ya-yades.
E G G7
It's just a masquerade.
E G G7
It's just a masquerade.
E G G7
It's just a masquerade.
E G G7
It's just a masquerade.
