INTRO:  C   G   D     G   C   G   D    G  G-C-D-G  
MarioCnette, your Ddress is all Gwet
EmDid someone Cmajleave you outGside in the Drain
Or is it the Gpain
That makes all the puppet tears Croll down your cheek
Or Gdoes the roof leak?
MarioCnette, how Dcould you forGget?
I Emtold you your Cmajbright shining Gvarnish would Dpeel
How does it Gfeel
With the bright rouge all faded, and the Csmile almost cracked
Now Gthat you've come back?
BRIDGE:
CBack to the toy shop by Brandenburg GGate
I Emhope not too FlateG  
'Cause my Emhands are much Esusstiffer
Than they Gwere when Cfirst I Fpainted your G6eyesC  D  
GMarioCnette, no you're Dnot finished Gyet
I'll Gmend you and make you like Dnew
Paint your eyes Gblue
And make you as young as CI was myself
And Gthere on the shelf...
You'll sit 'til the EmPuppet Man
DComes 'round Gagain
OUTRO: (repeat 3x, then fade)
C G D G   C G D

INTRO: ---

C D G

Marionette, your dress is all wet

Em Cmaj G D

Did someone leave you outside in the rain

Or is it the pain

That makes all the puppet tears roll down your cheek

Or does the roof leak?

C D G

Marionette, how could you forget?

Em Cmaj G D

I told you your bright shining varnish would peel

How does it feel

With the bright rouge all faded, and the smile almost cracked

Now that you've come back?

BRIDGE:

C G

Back to the toy shop by Brandenburg Gate

Em F G

I hope not too late

Em Esus

'Cause my hands are much stiffer

G C F G6 C D

Than they were when first I painted your eyes

G C D G

Marionette, no you're not finished yet

G D

I'll mend you and make you like new

Paint your eyes blue

And make you as young as I was myself

And there on the shelf...

You'll sit 'til the Puppet Man

D G

Comes 'round again

OUTRO: (repeat 3x, then fade)
