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 (Bsus4)
You're wearing a Cynthia mask (E Aadd9)
Cynthia mask (Bsus4)
You're wearing a Cynthia mask (E Aadd9)[back to (E5 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 (Bsus4)
You're wearing a Cynthia mask (E Aadd9)
Cynthia mask (Bsus4)

Cynthia mask (Dsus2)
I know how she feels (A)
But can't say a word because (E7)
Nothing is real in here (Dsus2 A)
Not even her (E5)

[back to (E5 F#m11thno5th)]

Disguise yourself
As you or another
A 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 E 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.
