Chords

Note: Album version starts in Bbm, but I wrote this out to be friendly to guitarists. [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
