Introduction: Chord diagramE5E5 F#m11no5 Chord diagramE5E5

Napoleon	(F#m11no5 Chord diagramE5E5 F#m11thno5th)
Wore a black hat (Chord diagramE5E5 F#m11no5)
Et lots of chicken (Chord diagramE5E5 F#m11no5)
And conquered half Europe (Chord diagramE5E5 F#m11no5)
Napoleon (Chord diagramE5E5 F#m11thno5th)
Was caught by the British (Chord diagramE5E5 F#m11no5)
Imprisoned on Elba (Chord diagramE5E5 F#m11no5)
He died on the phone (Chord diagramE5E5 F#m11no5)

Chamberlain
Came crawling from Munich
With one piece of paper
He waved at the camera
Peace in our time
Oh thank you Herr Hitler
Tell that to the Polish
Tell that to the Jews

You take your babes
Up to the bathroom
And then you lead
Them into the bedroom
Gnarly babes
For pleasure and profit
Correctly applied
Could bring good results

Cynthia mask (Chord diagramBsus4Bsus4)
You're wearing a Cynthia mask (Chord diagramE MajorE Chord diagramAadd9Aadd9)
Cynthia mask (Chord diagramBsus4Bsus4)
You're wearing a Cynthia mask (Chord diagramE MajorE Chord diagramAadd9Aadd9)[back to (Chord diagramE5E5 F#m11no5)]

You're dressed as yourself
You walk down the pavement
You smile like a bowl
You grin like a melon
The people that pass
They think that they know you
They're too busy thinking
To see who you are

I'll reach your lungs
Like smoke in the orchard
Scattered in bushes
The firemen laughing
I'll rap your hands
With personal signals
Don't come to me later
Come to me now

Cynthia mask (Chord diagramBsus4Bsus4)
You're wearing a Cynthia mask (Chord diagramE MajorE Chord diagramAadd9Aadd9)
Cynthia mask (Chord diagramBsus4Bsus4)

Cynthia mask (Chord diagramDsus2Dsus2)
I know how she feels (Chord diagramA augmentedA)
But can't say a word because (Chord diagramE7E7)
Nothing is real in here (Chord diagramDsus2Dsus2 Chord diagramA augmentedA)
Not even her (Chord diagramE5E5)

[back to (Chord diagramE5E5 F#m11thno5th)]

Disguise yourself
As you or another
Chord diagramA augmentedA brick or a spider
In hunger and silence
The yawning cross
The hill full of pebbles
Inside you forever
Inside you is all

Cynthia mask

The only version on the internet I’ve seen says to alternate between Chord diagramE MajorE and F#m7, but it’s not right. So I came up with this version. This is the best I’ve been able to determine how this song goes. I still think the middle part is not quite right yet, but it’s pretty close.
