Rubin And Cherise

B F# E
B F# E F#

[Verse 1]
   B         F#           E      
Cherise was brushing her long 
   B      F#
hair gently down
           F#  B        F#   E  
It was the afternoon of 
        E          B      F#
carnival; As she brushes it gently 
down,
B           F#           E  
Rubin was strumming his painted 
     B   F#
mandolin.
        F#           B      F#   
It was inlaid with a pretty face 
   E                B    F#    E
in jade; Played the carnival parade.

[Verse 2]
  B         F#           E        
Cherise was dressing as Pirouette 
 B      F#
in white
           F#  B        F#   E  
When a fatal vision gripped her 
        E          B      F#
tight; Cherise beware tonight.
B           F#           E       
Rubin, Rubin tell me truly true.
B   F#

        F#           B      F#   
I feel afraid and I don't know 
   E                B    F#    E
why I do. I there another girl for 
you?

[Chorus 1]
C#m                    F#        
If you could see in my heart, you
       B
 would know it's true.
        B        C#m B  C#m B   
There's none Cherise except for 
A               Ab
you, except for you.
     C#m        B      F#   B   
I'd swear to it on my very soul,
          B     F#        E
 if I lie may I fall down cold.

[Verse 3]
B         F#           E         
When Rubin played on his painted 
B      F#
mandolin
           F#  B        F#   E  
The breeze would pause to listen
        E          B      F#
 in; before going its way again.
B           F#           E  
Masquerade began when nightfall 
     B   F#
finally woke,
        F#           B      F#   
Like waves against the bandstand 
   E                B    F#
dancers broke; to the painted 
    E
mandolin.

[Chorus 2]
C#m                    F#        
Looking out at the crowd, who is 
       B
standing there?
        B        C#m B  C#m B   
Sweet Ruby Claire at Rubin 
A               Ab
stared, at Rubin stared.
     C#m        B      F#   B   
She was dressed as Pirouette in 
          B     F#        E
red and her hair hung gently down.

[Verse 4]
B         F#           E         
The crowd pressed round, Ruby 
B      F#
stood as though alone.
           F#  B        F#   E  
Rubin's song took on a different
        E          B      F#
 tone, and he played it just for 
her.
 B           F#           E       
The song he played was the 
B   F#
carnival parade,
        F#           B      F#   
Each note cut a thread of 
   E                B    F#    E
Cherise's fate, it cut through like 
a blade.

[Verse 5]
B         F#           E  
Rubin was playing his painted 
       B      F#
mandolin,
           F#  B        F#   E  
When Ruby froze and turned to 
        E          B      F#
stone, for the strings played all 
alone.
 B           F#           E       
The voice of Cherise from the face
B   F#
 of the mandolin,
        F#           B      F#   
Singing Rubin Rubin tell me true,
   E                B    F#    E
 for I have no one but you.

[Chorus 3]
C#m                    F#        
If you could see in my heart, you
       B
 would know it's true.
        B        C#m B  C#m B   
There's none Cherise except for 
A               Ab
you, except for you.
     C#m        B      F#   B   
I'd swear to it on my very soul,
          B     F#        E
 if I lie may I fall down cold.

[Verse 6]
B         F#           E         
The truth of love an unsung song 
B      F#
must tell.
           F#  B        F#   
The course of love must follow 
E          E          B      F#
blind; without a look behind.
 B           F#           E  
Rubin walked the streets of New 
     B   F#
Orleans till dawn,
        F#           B      F#   
Cherise so lightly in his arms, 
   E                B    F#    E
and her hair hung gently down.
