Вступление
[Verse 1]
D
My name is Balthazar, Impresario
Em D
And you'll find me at the bottom of the page
D
I have artist's hands, though I'm a working man
Em D
But my craft has been forgotten by the age
A G
So tonight will be my last night on the stage
[Verse 2]
D
This is my family's trade, my father built this place
Em D
At the turning of the twentieth century
D
I have been working here, for some fifty years
Em D
But the young these days are glued to TV screens
A G
And the old girl is dying on her feet
[Chorus]
G D
Once more to the boards
F#m
One more curtain call
Em G
Give the crowd everything they're asking for and more
D
Always make them laugh
F#m
Try to make them cry
Em D
Always take the stage like it's the last night of your life
[Verse 3]
D
My friends from theatre school all thought I was a fool
Em D
For leaving Shakespeare for the music hall
D
And now my son's left home, and set out on his own
Em D
And the critics think we're quaint but set to fall
A G
But they've only seen the show from the stalls
[Chorus]
G D
Once more to the boards
F#m
One more curtain call
Em G
Give the crowd everything they're asking for and more
D
Always make them laugh
F#m
Try to make them cry
Em G
Always take the stage like it's the last night of your life
[Bridge 1]
G D F#m
And all the things I've seen behind these tattered seams
Em G
And all the upturned faces with the lamplight in their eyes
D F#m
And each imperfect turn flickers as it burns
Em A
Only lasts a moment but for me they'll never die
[Bridge 2]
G
We are respected
A
We're not remembered
G
We are the ghosts of Vaudeville
A
Unnumbered
G
We are the fathers of the halls
A
Yeah but we'll never be famous
G
We aren't just artists, we are something more:
We're entertainers
[Instrumental]
G D F#m Em G
G D F#m Em G
[Verse 4]
D
I smooth my thinning hair in a gilded mirror
Em D
To try to hide the tell-signs of my age
D
My name is Balthazar, Impresario
Em D
And tonight will be my last night on the stage.
