The Show Must Go On Chords

(ver. 1)
Queen
[Verse 1]

       Am                 Am
Empty spaces, what are we living for?
            F                 F
Abandoned places, I guess we know the score.
Dm              E                         Dm
On and on, does anybody know what we are looking for?
        Am            Am
Another hero, another mindless crime,
            F               F
Behind the curtain, in the pantomime,
Dm                  E                        Dm
Hold the line, does anybody want to take it anymore?


[Chorus]

                 Am                   F
The show must go on, The show must go on.
  Dm                             E                              Dm           Am
Inside my heart is breaking, my make-up may be flaking, But my smile still stays on.
  

[Verse 2]

         Bm                    Bm
Whatever happens, I'll leave it all to chance,
         G                  G
Another heartache, another failed romance.
Em               F#                       Em
On and on, does anybody know what we are living for?
             Bm                 Bm
I guess I'm learning I must be warmer now,
              G                 G
I'll soon be turning round the corner now,
   Em                             F#                            Em          Dm
Outside the dawn is breaking, but inside in the dark I'm aching to be free.


[Chorus]

                 Am                   F
The show must go on, The show must go on.
   Dm                            E                              Dm          Am
Inside my heart is breaking, My make-up may be flaking, But my smile still stays on.

Am  F F  Dm  E  Dm  


[Bridge]

Eb           F                Dm              Gm
 My soul is painted like the wings of butterflies,
Eb              F              Dm             Gm
Fairy-tales of yesterday will grow and never die,
G           C
I can fly, my friends.
 

[Chorus]
 
                 Am
The show must go on,
                 F
The show must go on.

     Dm                        E                 Dm                 
I'll face it with a grin, I'm never giving in, on  with  the show.

[Solo]

Am Am F F


[Outro]

     Dm               Dm         E                               Dm
I'll top the bill I'll overkill I have to find the will to carry on,
               E               Dm
(On with the show, with the) show

                 Am
The show must go on
