D
Last Friday they had a masquerade
G                 D
Everyone was there
A
All decked out in stars and silver
G                    D
Moonlight in their hair
D
Darkness fell down around us
G                      D
We were lost in the mystery
A
Left our clothes by the side of the road
G                    D              
And jumped into the sea

::Chorus::
          G
Wash me down
         D
Wash me down
         Bm             F#m
Take me away from the beating drums
 G                     A      
Let the great world go by
         G
Wash me down
          D
Wash me down
            A
And when you go
                D
I will never forget

::Verse #2::
D
I heard a rumour ‘bout a miracle
       G                  D
In a town by the Buffalo Leap
A              
People came from miles around
G                     D
To watch the statue weep
D
They filled the square with their caravans
G                   D
Cameras lit up the trees
A 
Every time a light went off
      G                  D
They fell down to their knees

::Chorus::
        G
Wash me down
         D
Wash me down
         Bm              F#m
Take me away from the beating drums
G                     A
Let the great world go by
         G
Wash me down
          D
Wash me down
             A
And when you go
              D
I will never forget

::Solo::
G - D - A - D

::Interlude::
D - G/D

::Verse #3::
D
I swear I’ve seen your face before
G                     D
Somewhere when I was young
 A   
You make me feel the miles I’ve walked
       G              D
The things I’ve left undone
D
Come here and lay beside me
G                     D
One more hour, that’s all
A
When you leave I’ll close the door
G                D
Maybe then I’ll fall

::Chorus::
       G
Wash me down
       D
Wash me down
         Bm               F#m
Take me away from the burning sun
 G               A
Let the great world go by
         G
Wash me down
         D
Wash me down
            A
And when you go
                D
I will never forget
             A
And when you go
                 G         - D
I will never forget
