Capo 1

verse 1
  A augmentedA       F# minorF#m
The Monochrome Martinet,
        B minorBm          E MajorE
His texture is starch, the song is a march,
       A augmentedA             F#F#
And from the beginning, his duende was winning,
   B minorBm
But though he's a worty emcee,
   B minorBm
He'll never be part of the three,
D MajorD    E MajorE  A augmentedA    F# minorF#m
Orpheum act, Faustian pact,
G+G             D MajorD    A augmentedA
Three might be duende, in fact.

verse 2
D MajorD        B minorBm
Necropolis Blownapart,
     E minorEm        A augmentedA
A majorA ghostly sight, emerges bright,
       D MajorD           BB
Hot from the embers, the first team member,
  E minorEm
Is hatching a dasterdly plan,
    E minorEm
Like a bird with a dasterdly egg,
G+G        A augmentedA   D MajorD      B minorBm
Trapped in his time, lost in his rhymes,
C majorC     G+G     D MajorD
One might duende defined.

verse 3
G+G        E minorEm
Apocryphal Espadrille,
        A minorAm          D MajorD
The shaper of dreams, returns to the scene,
    G+G           E MajorE
No diorama, could match his drama,
  A minorAm
A augmentedA smile that would frighten the blind,
   A minorAm
The incubus freezes the mind,
C majorC        D MajorD   G+G       E minorEm
Fooled by his charm, right off the farm,
FF        C majorC     G+G
Sound Might Be Duende's alarm.

verse 4
C majorC         A minorAm
Dystopio Smashedtobits,
       DmDm          G+G
The keeper of dust, the builder of rust,
      C majorC           A augmentedA
When you discover Sleep's older brother,
   DmDm
The trio is finally complete,
   DmDm
The trio has just one conceit,
FF        G+G   C majorC        A minorAm
Forged by their past, first in their class,

Outro

Three might be duende, (Three might be duende)
A#A#
Three might be duende, (Three might be duende)
A#A#       C majorC     FF
Three might be duende, at last!
