[E] _ _ _ Firm as Andre. _
Yeah, [B] Andre, what a [Dbm] splendid [Gbm] party!
Prolonged [B] to a bright new year.
[E] Quite a [B] night, I'm impressed.
[Am] Well one does [E] one's best.
[Bm] Here's to us.
[B] I must say all the same that it's a shame that Phantom [A] Fellow isn't here.
_ _ _ [F] _ [C] _ [G] Masquerade!
[D] Make a fizzle of her [F] head.
Masquerade!
My little [C] fairy's so over the top.
[F] _ [C] _ _ [G] Masquerade!
[F] Heavy face and dimmer shade.
Masquerade!
Look [C] around and_ _ _
_ _all
those mash-up views.
_Hunan
king, [F] Hunan_
_swing
it back in a breeze.
Trace off from his face a beast.
Fae, this is.
Take a turn, take a [G] ride.
On the merry-go [C]-round.
In any human race.
I am a treated false, who is [F] no curl of mists.
Whirl of gown, ace of hearts, face of clown.
Fae, this is.
Drink it in, drink it [C] up.
Drink it proud, make a [Em] light in the [G] south.
Who can [C] name the face?
Masquerade!
[F] Pretty yellow, springy breads.
Masquerade!
[C] Take a pill at the stack.
The [F] dollar stack. _
[C] _ _ [G] Masquerade!
[F] _ _ _
Fae, somewhere [Am] there at the scene of twilight.
A [G] clown, [C] off the wall.
[F] Singing shadows, breathing lights.
The false parade.
Look at [C] old and in friends who wear [F] the beauty.
[C] _ _ _
[Cm] Masquerade!
Eerie times and [F] weary nights.
_ Run and hide, [C] find a place.
Who can [Db] name the face?
On the night.
Makes you glad, makes you [Gb] proud.
All the creme de la creme.
Watching us and all our friends are in the past.
Of relief, of [Db] delight.
Of [Ab] Elysian [Db] peace.
And we can breathe at last.
No more ghosts.
Here's to health.
Here's a [Gb] toast to a prosperous year.
To the new chandelier.
And they say it's not a plague.
What a change.
What a [Db] change.
What a [Ab] blessed release and what [Db] a [D] masquerade.
Just think of it.
A secret [G] engagement.
Look, [A] your future [D] bride.
Just think of it.
Why is it [G] secret?
What [A] have we to hide?
[Bm] Please let's not fight.
Christine, you're [B] free.
Wait till the [Gb] time is right.
When will that [Bm] be?
It's an engagement.
[E] It's not a crime.
[D] Christine, what are you afraid [Em] of?
[G] Let's [A] not argue.
Let's [Gbm] not [Gbm] argue. [Em] Please pretend.
I can [G] only [A] hope.
[Gbm] We'll [G] understand in [Bb] [G] time.
