THE MAN IN THE IRON MASK - BILLY BRAGG

General outline of how I play it - freestyle a bit and play around.
I capo on 3 cos I can't sing that low...

Am7 F C G C FILL
When he drops you off I will not say
Em Am Em Am
Who was that who so quickly drove away
Am7 F C G C FILL
The things you've done and the places you've been
Em Am Em Am
When I open the door for you I will not let them in
Am7 F C G C FILL
As long as you come back to me I will never ask
Em Am Em Am
For you I will be the man in the iron mask

BRIDGE FILL

Am7 F C G C FILL
You said you loved me and it broke my heart
Em Am Em Am
I was always your prisoner right from the start
Am7 F C G C FILL
The nights you spend without me this house is like a dungeon
Em Am Em Am
And you only return to torture me more
Am7 F C G C FILL
You must have your reasons, I will not ask
Em Am Em Am
For you I will be the man in the iron mask
