Chords for Master's Song (Das Lied vom Meister) - Dracula The Musical

_ _ [C] Renfield.
[Em] Oh, what is it, Master?
[D] The hour has come, [E] Renfield.
I am crossing the sea on my way to you.
[C] I shall make a landfall at Whitby Bay.
[E] Then [C] I shall proceed to London, and you [Am] will have [C] your freedom.
Thank you, Master.
Thank you.
It is I who am grateful, Renfield, [E] as you will soon [C#] discover.
This is a great and historic moment for me.
This is your menagerie, Mr.
Renfield.
_ I shall soon have large fish to fry.
Are those your flies?
There are very few of them left, I am afraid, Doctor.
[C#m] Why is that?
_ [C] I have been feeding them to my spiders.
I see.
[B] _
But there is one fine, fat fellow here.
Mr.
Renfield, really, that is hardly an hijacking procedure.
You are not a spider.
Oh, quite right, Doctor.
This is a spider.
Mr.
Renfield, I must ask you to desist at once,
for I do not withdraw your permission to continue to work with these creatures.
Oh, please, do not concern yourself, Doctor.
You must not eat them.
That is wrong.
On the contrary, the blood is the life.
And what do you mean by that?
_ This is not a question for me to answer.
You must ask [E] the Master.
The Master?
Yes, he [Em] who would be Master of Sword. _
_ _ _ [B] _ Two years ago, I was [E] minding my business,
Tending my [Em] garden at sunrise.
[E] I heard a voice in my head [F#m] that intrigued me.
I answered, yes, was I [Am] unwise.
Thus it began, all the long [E] preparation he needed [D] for his plan.
[C] He cannot [Am] enter without [B] invitation, and I was his [E] man.
That's why I always know what he's thinking.
I always know when he's drinking, [B] and for whom.
When he [Am] slips in [B] someone's room.
[Em] Oh, yes, [B] I always know who he's [Em] after.
I hear his [Am] triumphal laughter [B] in my head.
[A] When he finds some [B] new bread.
_ [E] Undead.
Yes, undead.
Forgive me for using the technical term, Doctor.
I believe you are suffering from some type of hysterical fantasy, Mr.
Renfield.
Oh, no, Doctor.
I can see it plain as the nose on your face.
He sails across the seven seas to ship her [B] through the wave.
And when the crimson moon comes up, he drinks the [E] blood of [F#] slaves.
We have waited long for the [B] master's song, and it's time to join in the chorus.
[G] Sing his [Em] song, sing it loud and [B] strong, and the master may give you new life.
Tell me, who [Em] is this master?
[F] Is he the commander of my nation?
This boy I've come, [Dm] but I'm already done.
[B] I've seen this before.
I can't help the master.
You must understand that all of this confidential.
Take my word for it, [Dm] preparedness is quintessential.
[B] I'm ready, [Am] I'm ready, [B] and so [E] I'll be free.
I'll be free.
_ [Em] The schooner runs before the storm.
The crew is [B] all below.
The captain fights to steer a course.
The master [Em] strikes and soars.
[G] _
[E] Hail to the people, [G] hail to the [Em] king.
Hail, [G] all hail to [G#m] you.
Hail, [Bm] all hail to [G#m] me.
Hail, [Bm] all hail to me.
[B] _ _ [G] _ _ [B] _ _ [Gm] _
_ _ [Dm] _ _ _ [Bm] _ _ [B] _
_ [F] Me, [C#] I always know [F] what he's thinking.
[C#] I always know [A#m] what he's thinking.
[C] Those sharp teeth, [A#] I know where to.
[C] Send me.
[Fm] Master, [C#] they think a locked [Fm] door prevents you.
[C#] Your only way I can sense you.
[C] We know [A#] through the grating, [C] through the floor, [A#] through the fan light, [C] comes the mist.
And you, [F] _
_ _ _ _ master, they think [C] a locked door prevents you.
Ha ha ha ha ha ha!
_ [F] _ _ [N] _ _ _ _ _ [F] _ _ _ [Cm] _
