Again, it may be not right, so correct me :)
I play D D U U D U at the Chorus and simple DUD DUD DUD at the verses
[Verse 1]
Am F E Every day the Masquerade is sending out the call Am F E Every day that Night Bregade came crashing through that door Am F They said "What are you doing siting all alone just staring at the telephone? E There's a place we know that you can go and join in the parade" Am And I said "I'm just sitting here licking my wounds F And i don't think i'll be finished soon E Where can I find a place to hide from this mess I've made?"
[Chorus]
Am At the Masquerade! F You'll be glad you came! E They won't see the holes that in your soul when you cover up your face Am At the Masquerade! F It's gonna be ok! E Trade your shame for wealth and fame where no one knows your name!
[Verse 2]
Am Blast and break through F E They dragged me to this zoo Am "Put your mask on: That's the key" F E Which animal is right for me? Am So I burst through the pearly gates and F I was alarmed by what awaited E They greeted me with open arms: Like I was one of them Am And I felt right away they let me in F Absolved me of my prior sins
So I shed this wretched skin at last!
E
And I became the mask![Chorus]
Am At the Masquerade! F You'll be glad you came! E They won't see the holes that in your soul when you cover up your face Am At the Masquerade! F It's gonna be ok! E Trade your shame for wealth and fame where no one knows your name!
[Bridge]
Am F It's a chance to leave it all behind (leave it all behind) E Start again, begin a brand new life Am They were right that I wouldn't hate it F To think that I hesitated
I finally checked my checkered past
E
And I'm not going back![Chorus]
Am At the Masquerade! F You'll be glad you came! E They won't see the holes that in your soul when you cover up your face Am At the Masquerade! F It's gonna be ok! E Trade your shame for wealth and fame where no one knows your name! Am F Come along don't you fear the Masquerade!
Step in: Don't be afraid
Take your pain and deepest shame
E And let them go a the Masquerade! Am F Grab a mask and cover up your face!
Wrap yourself in silk brocade.
Just forget the mistakes you made
E
Cause no one cares at the Masquerade!
