Theme From Charade
Music by Henry Mancini
Lyrics by Johnny Mercer
[Bm-F#7-Bm-F#7]
[Bm]When we played our charade
We were like children [F#7]posing
[Em]Playing at [F#7]games, [Em]acting out [F#7]names
[Em]Guessing the [Gm]parts [F#7]we p[Bm]layed
[Bm]Oh what a hit we made
We came on next to [F#7]closing
[Em]Best on the [F#7]bill, [Em]lovers un[F#7]til
[Em]Love left the [Gm]mas[F#7]quer[Bm]ade
[Em7]Fate [A7]seemed to [Dmaj7]pull the [Bm]strings
[Em7]I turned [A7]and you were [Dmaj7]gone [Ebdim]
[Em]Whil[A7]e from the [Dmaj7]darkened [Bm]wings
The [E7]music [Em7]box played [F#7]on
[Bm]Sad little serenade
Song of my heart's [F#7]composing
[Em]I hear it [F#7]still, [Em]I always [F#7]will
[Em]Best of the [Gm]bill, char[Bm]ade.
