The li[G]ghts turned [Bm]on, and the cur[Em]tain fell d[C]own,
And w[Am7]hen it was over it f[D]elt like a dream,
They s[Am7]tood at the stage door, and be[D]gged for a scream,
The ag[G]ents had [G/F#]paid for the [Em]black limou - s[Em7]ine,
That wa[C]ited outside in the r[D]ain!

[Dm] Could you tell that the em[G7]pty quivered,
Br[Bb]own - skinned... Indi - [Dm]an on the [Em/D]banks,
That were c[F/D]rowded and n[Em/D]arrow, h[F]eld a... broken a[G]r - r[G]ow?

Eig[G]hteen y[Bm]ears of A - me[Em]rican dr[C]eam,
He [Am7]saw that his brother had sw[D]orn on the wall,
He [Am7]hung up his eyelids, and r[D]an down the hall,

Her b[Am7]lack covered caisson, her ho[D]rses had drawn,

They mar[C]ried for peace, and were g[D]one!
