_ _ _ _ [G] _ [Db] The _ ball was filled [Ebm] with _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Ab] _ _
a _ thousand [Db] _ [Ab] loves, _
_ _ [Ebm] and there was a woman [Bbm] who _ [A] passed along,
[Bb] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Ebm] _
a [Dbm] _ girl to [Fm] a lover, [Ebm] then _ softly _ [B] sighed,
there's riches at [Fm] _ her [F] _ _
command.
_ _ [B] But he married for [Ab] _ wealth, [Db] not for _ love, he _ cried, _ _
_ [Cm] though she _ _ lives in a _ _ _ [B] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Bb] _ _ _ cage, she's a _ _ [F] _ _ _ [B] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Fm] _ _
_ [F] beautiful [Ab] sight [Db] to see.
_ _ _ You [Bbm] may think she's _ happy [Dbm] and free _ [Db] from [Bbm] care,
but [Bb] she's not though she _ seems to _
_ _ [Ab] be.
_ _ [Bbm] She's _ sad when you _ [B] think of her _ wasted _ life,
[Fm] for you _ [B] cannot make [Dbm] with her.
_ _ _ _ _ [Bb] And her _ beauty was _ _ sold for an [Db] _ old _ [Dbm]

She's [Eb] a _ _ bird in [Ab] a gilded cage. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
