Matinee Idol

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
