    D                      Gmaj7 
The old magician takes the stage 
    A                         D  Dmaj7 
His act does not improve with age 
  Em7                      A 
Observe the shabby hat and gloves 
    Em7            A      Bm   Bm/A 
The tired act that no-one loves 
      Em7           A        D 
There was a time he produced doves 

|4/4 D | % | 

  D                    Gmaj7 
A mirror and a puff of smoke 
    A                   D    Dmaj7 
His mysteries are now a joke 
    Em7                      A 
His poor assistant black and blue 
      Em7            A       Bm   Bm/A 
She's tired of being sawn in two 
      Em7            A      D 
She's tired of being sawn in two 

|4/4 D | % | 

D                       Gmaj7 
Hidden trapdoor, velvet cape 
A                             D  Dmaj7 
Still from death there's no escape 
Em7                   A 
Words of sympathy and tact 
Em7       A        Bm   Bm/A 
Only underline the fact 
           Em7        A      D 
Death is a lousy disappearing act

D                      Gmaj7 
Lord have mercy and be kind 
A                    D    Dmaj7 
When our faculties unwind 
Em7                  A 
Overlook the hat and gloves 
    Em7            A      Bm   Bm/A 
The tired act that no-one loves 
      Em7           A        D    Dmaj7 
There was a time we produced doves 
Em7                  A 
Overlook the hat and gloves 
    Em7            A      Bm   Bm/A 
The tired act that no-one loves 
      Em7           A        D 
There was a time we produced doves

    D                      Gmaj7 
The old magician takes the stage 
     A                          D   Dmaj7 
With sleight of hand he値l disengage 
   Em7                   A 
As dignified as you値l allow 
      Em7                A     Bm   Bm/A 
He値l take his last, his final bow 
      Em7          A        D   Dmaj7 
He痴 lost all his illusions now 
   Em7                   A 
As dignified as you値l allow 
      Em7                A     Bm   Bm/A 
He値l take one last, one final bow 
      Em7          A        D  
He痴 lost all his illusions now
