Verse
F# F#maj7
I am an opera singer
F#7 B
I stand on painted tape
B C#
It tells me where I'm going
C# F#
And where to throw my cape
[Verse 2]
F# F#maj7
I call my co-stars "brother"
F#7 B
I call my co-stars "knave"
B C#
I play both good and evil parts
C# F#
I sing to Verdi's grave
[Verse 3]
F# F#maj7
And every single morning
F#7 B
By 10 BM I'm dressed
B C#
My rehearsals last for hours and hours
C# F#
With diligence I have been blessed
[Verse 4]
F# F#maj7
Some people, they call me monster
F#7 B
Some people, they call me saint
B C#
My talent feeds my darker side
C# F#
Yet no one will complain
[Chorus]
C# F# B
I am an opera singer
B F#
I sing in foreign lands
C# F# B
I've sung for kings in Europe
B F# C#
And emperors in Japan
[Verse 5]
F# F#maj7
And after each performance
F#7 B
People stand around and wait
B C#
Just to tell me that they love my voice
C# F#
Just to tell me that I'm great
[Verse 6]
F# F#maj7
I am an opera singer
F#7 B
I will sing when you're all dead
B C#
I sing the mountains crumbling apart
C# F#
I sing what can't be said
[Chorus]
C# F# B
I am an opera singer
B F#
I sing in foreign lands
C# F# B
Most people seem to know my name
B F# C#
Or at least know who I am
