[Verse 1]
Am E This is the day Am E The day of the death A Dm The death of the matinee idol Am E Dm Still so beautiful as the an-gels Am E7 Am E As the angels came down from on high
[Verse 2]
Am E So sweet and so soft Am E So charmingly daft A Dm So young was the matinee idol Am E Dm Lips of crimson slightly open Am E7 Am As the flash and all fame put to rest
[Chorus]
Dm G Walk, Walk along that wall G7 C No it is not from the academy Dm G Walk, Walk along that wall C From this moment on you'll cease to be E7 The undying love of the public eye
[Verse 3]
Am E And so goes one more Am E Away from the maze A Dm Away for to sit at the table Am A Dm Above Babel far from this world Am E7 Am While standing on the boulevard
[Chorus]
Dm G Walk, Walk along that wall G7 C No it is not from the academy Dm G Walk, Walk along that wall E7 From this moment on you'll cease to be Dm G A But still whomever has looked at A7 Dm Looked at beauty is marked out G Am E7 Dm Is marked out already by----y death Dm G A Whomever has looked at A7 Dm Looked at beauty is marked out G Am E7 Am E7 Is marked out already by------ death
Am E A Dm
[Outro]
Am A Dm Still so beautiful as the an--gels Am E7 Am As the angels came down from on high
