Capo 3rd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

 Where's the orchestra?

Wasn't this supposed to be a musical?

Here I am in the balcony

How the hell could I have missed the overture?

 I like the scenery

Even though I have absolutely no

 Idea at all

What is being said despite the dialogue

There's the leading man

 The movie star who never faced an audience

Where's the orchestra?

After all

 This is my big night on the town

 My introduction to the theatre crowd

 I assumed that the show would have a song

 So I was wrong

 At least I understand

All the innuendo and the irony

And I appreciate

 The roles the actors played, the point the author made

 And after the closing lines

And after the curtain calls

 The curtain falls

 On empty chairs ... where's the orchestra?

Outro
