As recorded by Status Quo (From the 1969 Album SPARE PARTS) [Intro] C Bb F C Bb F C [Chorus]
C      Bb                F         C
Velvet curtains draw the show to a close

G                         C
Our scene is over and the whole world knows

       Bb                F             C
Velvet curtains shut the light from my mind

G                         C
I leave the stage, put my memories behind
[Verse 1]
F
How it started with a passing word

C
How you answered and I liked what I heard

F
Wasn't long before we fell in love

       E                       F  G
And we thought we'd never part
[Chorus]
C      Bb                F         C
Velvet curtains draw the show to a close

G                         C
Our scene is over and the whole world knows

       Bb                F             C
Velvet curtains shut the light from my mind

G                         C
I leave the stage, put my memories behind
[Verse 2]
F
How I started to depend on you

C
How you tried to be dependable too

F
But you found it hard to change your ways

        E
And you merely broke my heart
[Verse 3]
F
Pretty soon I knew it had to end

C
Still I fool myself and try to pretend

F
But what's the good if there's another guy

         E                         F G Ab
And he's playing the leading part?
[Out-Chorus]
Db     B                 Gb        Db

Ab                        Db
Our scene is over and the whole world knows

       B                 Gb            Db
Velvet curtains shut the light from my mind

Ab                        Db
I leave the stage, put my memories behind

D      C                 G         D
Velvet curtains draw the show to a close

A                         D
Our scene is over and the whole world knows

       C                 G             D
Velvet curtains shut the light from my mind
