Chords

[ORPHEUS]
Am
[tab]F
If my love is gone for good

Em
They can take this heart away

F
They can take this flesh and blood

Am
Take my mouth that kissed her mouth

 F
Take my tongue that sung her praise

 Em
Take my arms that used to reach out

F
In the dark where she lay

Am                       F
If it's true what they say

Am                F
I'll be on my way

Am
If it's true what they say

F
If there's nothing to be done

Em
If there's no part to be played

F
If there's no song to be sung

Am
Take this voice, take these hands

F
I can't use them anyway

Em
Take this music and the memory

F
Of the muse from which it came

Am       C              F
If it's true what they say

Am            F
I'll be on my way

Am                   F
We can all be on our way

          Em             Am
If it's true what they say

Am                          F
But the ones who tell the lies

F
Are the solemnest to swear

Em
And the ones who load the dice

F
Always say the toss is fair

Am
And the ones who deal the cards

F
Are the ones who take the tricks

Em
With their hands over their hearts

F
While we play the game they fix

Am
And the ones who speak the words

F
Always say it is the last

Em
And no answer will be heard

F
To the question no one asks

Am
So I ask you as a brother

F
And I ask you as a friend

Em
And I ask you as a lover

F
And I ask you once again

                 G     F
Is it true what they say?
