Theme From Charade
Music by Henry Mancini
Lyrics by Johnny Mercer

Bm-F#7-Bm-F#7

BmWhen we played our charade 
                      F#7We were like children posing 
Em         F#7    Em         F#7Playing at games, acting out names 
Em           Gm    F#7 BmGuessing the parts we played 
BmOh what a hit we made 
                   F#7We came on next to closing 
Em          F#7   Em       F#7Best on the bill, lovers until 
Em            Gm F#7 BmLove left the masquerade

Em7  A7        Dmaj7    BmFate seemed to pull the strings 
Em7      A7           Dmaj7   EbdimI turned and you were gone 
Em  A7         Dmaj7    Bm  While from the darkened wings 
    E7    Em7        F#7The music box played on 

BmSad little serenade 
                   F#7Song of my heart's composing 
Em        F#7    Em       F#7I hear it still, I always will 
Em          Gm        BmBest of the bill, charade.
