Capo 4th fret
Standard (EADGBE)
Yes, my love, oh we are magicians, you and I
And soon we'll see, the cloud shapes in our eyes
are blind, but fly, forever just the same,
forever just the same
Verse
Oh you - you've been sleeping in the rough
a travelling man took you by the hand, and still I wonder
Why girl - you've got a pocket full of snuff
a meek and mild, ragtime child who sometimes wonders
Chorus
Why, the crowds all stare
Mrs Porters crying, keep that kid away, from my bear
I've got 10 bob on that one, and ill not be having no
mad assed kid, do me wrong
and suddenly the curtain falls
Verse
Oh it - it may well hap' to be
That there's magic wed, in ragged threads
That you sleep under
To find there's an comfort in melody
To a mild and meek, ragtime chic
And still I wonder
Chorus
Why, the crowds all stare
Mrs Porters crying, keep that kid away, from my bear
I've got 10 bob on that one, and ill not be having no
mad assed kid do me wrong
and suddenly, the curtain falls
Bridge
Mary's just a poor girl
Turned alabaster call girl, with bruised and pale pins
Mary's still a poor girl, so through those gutters crawl girl
Your secrets sleeping in
Chorus
Why the crowds all stare
Mrs Porters crying, keep that kid away from my bear
I've got 10 bob on that one, and I'll not be having no
mad assed kid do me wrong
and suddenly, the curtain falls
Outro
Yes, my love, oh we are magicians, you and I
And soon we'll see, the cloud shapes in our eyes
are blind, but fly, forever just the same,
forever just the same
