Chords for The Phantom of the Opera - Down Once More - Original Cast Recording (1/23)

[Db] _ [Gb] Once [B] more to the dungeon [E] of my black despair
Don't [A] we plunge to the prison of [Eb] my mind
_ _ _ _ [Ab] _ Nothing to _ _ keep [Db] us here
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [G] Why you ask what I found and [A] chained in this cold and [F] dismal place
[B] Not for any [G] mortal [E] sin but the weakness of my abhorrent face
[Bb]
Where have we must become?
Hounded out by everyone with hatred [Gb] everywhere
No kind word from anyone no compassion [Eb] anywhere
Christine, _ _ Christine, _ [Ebm] why?
[Gb] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _ _
[N] _ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
Don't be afraid of us, at [Ab] _ _ _
_ _ [Db] _ _ _ _ _ [Bb] _
_ [Db] _ _ _ [Gb] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [E] least hear our prayers call
_ [Em] _ _ _ _ _ _
[F] _ _ _ _ Have you forged [Cm] yourself at last in your lust for blood? _
_ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ [A] _
[C] _ _ [Gm] To your lust [Ab] for only _
_ _ _ _ [Bm] _ _ That fate which [E] condemns [Ab] me to wallow in blood
[C] _ Has also denied me the [E] joys of the flesh _ _
This face, the infection which [B] poisons our love
[A] This [B] _ _ [Db] _ _ face which [Ab]
earned a _ father's fear and _ [C] loathing
[Db] _ _ Unmask [Ab] my _ first [Gb] _ unsealing scrap [Ab] of clothing
_ _ [Gb] Pity comes too [Db] late, turn [Gb] around and [Ab] face your fate
An [Gb] eternity _ [B] of this [Gb] before your [Db] _ _ [Ab] eyes
_ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _
[Am] _ _ _ [C] _ _ [D] Your horror _ _ _ [Em] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ beats [E] in [Am] your _ soul in _ _ [D] _ _
_ _ distortion
_ [G] _ _ _
Wait, _ [D] _ _ _ _
[Dm] I think my dear we have a guest _ _
_ _ Sir, this is indeed an unparalleled delight _ _ _
Had rather hoped that you would [F] come
[G] _ _
[E] _ [D] Now my wish comes true, you have truly made my night
Free her, to what you like only [Am] free her
[Gbm] _ [C] _ [Cm] Your lover makes a passionate plea
He's wrong, it's useless
[D] I love [C] her, does [D] that mean nothing?
I [Am] love her
_ [Dbm] [Cm] The world showed no compassion to me
[Bm] _ Christine, [A] Christine, [G] let me see her
Be [F] my guest, sir _ _
Monsieur, _ _ [Gm] _ [Eb] I bid you [Gm] welcome
[D] Did you [Gm] think that [D] I would [Gm] harm [F] her?
Why [G] should [Cm]
I make her [Gm] pay [F] [G] for the [Cm]
[Eb] sins [Cm] which I [Gm] [Am] was? _ _ _
Order your fine horses now
Raise up your hand to the level of your eyes
Nothing can save you now except [A] perhaps Christine
_ [D] _ _ Start _ [Gm] a new [Dbm] _ [B] life with me
[G]
Buy his freedom [Dbm] _ [Bm] with your love
Refuse me [D] and you send your [G] lover to his death
[Gb] This is the choice
_ [F] [Eb] This is the point of no _ [Db] recurrence _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[G] _ _ Tears of _ _ _
_ [Eb] _ _ _ me and _ [Ab] _ _ _ _ turn to [G] tears of [Gm] hate _ _ _
_ _ [D] _ _ [Gm] I _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ did it all for you [Eb] and all for [Ab] nothing
_ [A] That's _
[C] _ _ _ [Gm] _ [Ab] too late, old friend, [D] I've used this pity
[Gm] All _ hope [D] of life for him
[Gm] _ _ No [G] point in fighting
[Eb] For by the way [F] you choose he [Bb] has to break _
_ So do [Eb] you end your days [Ab] with me
Or do [Db] you send him to [Dbm] his grave?
Why make [Ab] her lie to you [A] to save _ [D] _
me?
_ _ _ _ [Gm] _ _
This is the point [D] of no _ _ [Gm] recurrence
[G] Christine, I'm not a liar, I'm a [Eb] wicked man
I'm [F] not a prize with you, [Bb] bastard
I've fought so hard to free you _
[Eb] You've passed the point [Ab] of no _
[D] return
_ [G] _ _ Dizzy _ _ and _ [A] _ _ _ [Bb] _
_ _ leave
You try my patience, make your choice
_ [Gm] _ _
_ _ _ _ Creature [Eb] of darkness _ _ _ [Cm] _ _ and of light
I [D] do not _ _ _
_ _ [Gm] _ _ _ _ reach to [Eb] show you
[D] You [Cm] are not
_ [Ab] _ _ _ [F] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Db] _ _ _
[Ab] _ _ _ [Db] _ _ [Ab] _ _ _
_ [Db] _ _ My _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Ab] friend, I'm not a liar, I'm a wicked man
[Gb] _ _ _
[Ab] _ _ _ [Db] _ _ _ [Ab] _ _
_ [Db] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [E] I'm not [A] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [D] a prize with you, bastard
You've passed the point of no return _ _ _
Dizzy _ _ _ _ _ _ _ and leave
You try my patience, make your choice
Forget me, forget all of this
Who is this man that I serve?
Leave me alone, forget all you've seen
What's the matter?
Go now, don't let them find you
Remember, Christine, remember our pain
Take the boat, leave me [G] here
Go now, don't wait
[D] Don't give me [Gb] any more time
Take [E] her and go before it's too late [F] What's that?
_ _ _ _ [Fm] _ _
_ _ [Bbm] _ _ _ [F] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Abm] Go me!
[F] _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ [F] _ _ [Db] _
_ _ [C] _ _ _ _ [N] _ _
