Take A Bow – Madonna

A slow ballad from Madonna, ‘Take a Bow’ hit #1 around the world. It was recorded with a full orchestra which suggests that there would be sheet music for this somewhere on the internet, but it was much more fun to try and work it out 🙂 I doubt it’s perfect, but i hope you enjoy the rendition below.

 

D       B     B      G    ^D   ^C   B-G
Take a bow, the night is over

A          ^D-^C-B    G   ^D-^C    B-G
This masquerade is getting older

D            B      B       B     ^E  – B        A

Bb            A  –  E        E
There’s no one here…

 

D        B         B     A   ^D   ^C    B     G-A
Say your lines but do you feel them

^D    ^C      B       G       A    ^C
Do you mean what you say

^C           ^C        B – G     A – BAB
When there’s no one around

Watching you, watching me,

^G   ^F#-B     B
One lonely star…

I’ve always been in love with you

I guess you’ve always known it’s true

B          B      A     A     G       G  –  E      A      B    ^C
You took my love for granted, why oh why
