the old magician Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]The old magician takes the[G] stage
[A](His act does not improve
[D]with age)
[Em]Observe the shabby hat and [A]gloves
The [Em]tired act that [A]no- one [Bm]loves
There [Em]was a time he [A]produced d[D]oves

[Verse 2]
[D]
A mirror and a puff of [G]smoke
His [A]mysteries are now [D]a joke
His [Em]poor assistant black and [A]blue
She's [Em]tired of being [A]sawn in [Bm]two
She's [Em]tired of being [A]sawn in [D]two

[Verse 3]
[D]
Hidden trapdoor, velvet [G]cape
[A]Still from death there's no es[D]cape
[Em]Words of sympathy and [A]tact
[Em]Only [A]underline [Bm]the fact
[A]Death is [Bm]a lou[Em]sy disappearing [A]act[D]

[Verse 4]
[D]Lord have mercy and be [G]kind
[A]When our faculties un[D]wind
[Em]Overlook the hat and [A]gloves
The [Em]tired act that [A]no- one [Bm]loves
There [Em]was a time we [A]pro
duced [D]doves
[Em][A]

[Verse 5]
[Em]The [A]old[Bm][Em][A][D]
magician takes [G]the stage
With [A]sleight of hand he'll dis[D]engage
As [Em]dignified as you'll al[A]low
[Em]He'll take his last, his [A]final [Bm]bow
He's [Em]lost all his il[A]lusions [D]now.
