Вступление
[Verse 1]D
My name is Balthazar, Impresario
EmD
And you'll find me at the bottom of the page
D
I have artist's hands, though I'm a working man
EmD
But my craft has been forgotten by the age
AG
So tonight will be my last night on the stage
[Verse 2]D
This is my family's trade, my father built this place
EmD
At the turning of the twentieth century
D
I have been working here, for some fifty years
EmD
But the young these days are glued to TV screens
AG
And the old girl is dying on her feet
[Chorus]GD
Once more to the boards
F#m
One more curtain call
EmG
Give the crowd everything they're asking for and more
D
Always make them laugh
F#m
Try to make them cry
EmD
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
EmD
For leaving Shakespeare for the music hall
D
And now my son's left home, and set out on his own
EmD
And the critics think we're quaint but set to fall
AG
But they've only seen the show from the stalls
[Chorus]GD
Once more to the boards
F#m
One more curtain call
EmG
Give the crowd everything they're asking for and more
D
Always make them laugh
F#m
Try to make them cry
EmG
Always take the stage like it's the last night of your life
[Bridge 1]GDF#m
And all the things I've seen behind these tattered seams
EmG
And all the upturned faces with the lamplight in their eyes
DF#m
And each imperfect turn flickers as it burns
EmA
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]GDF#mEmGGDF#mEmG[Verse 4]D
I smooth my thinning hair in a gilded mirror
EmD
To try to hide the tell-signs of my age
D
My name is Balthazar, Impresario
EmD
And tonight will be my last night on the stage.
