[Verse 1]
Am E
This is the day
Am E
The day of the death
A Dm
The death of the matinee idol
Am E Dm
Still so beautiful as the an-gels
Am E7 Am E
As the angels came down from on high
[Verse 2]
Am E
So sweet and so soft
Am E
So charmingly daft
A Dm
So young was the matinee idol
Am E Dm
Lips of crimson slightly open
Am E7 Am
As the flash and all fame put to rest
[Chorus]
Dm G
Walk, Walk along that wall
G7 C
No it is not from the academy
Dm G
Walk, Walk along that wall
C
From this moment on you'll cease to be
E7
The undying love of the public eye
[Verse 3]
Am E
And so goes one more
Am E
Away from the maze
A Dm
Away for to sit at the table
Am A Dm
Above Babel far from this world
Am E7 Am
While standing on the boulevard
[Chorus]
Dm G
Walk, Walk along that wall
G7 C
No it is not from the academy
Dm G
Walk, Walk along that wall
