Biography:
Edward Bear was a Canadian folk-rock group, formed originally in 1966 by Larry Evoy and Craig Hemming. The band signed with Capitol Records in 1969. Most of their chart successes were in the early seventies before disbanding in 1974. Their band name is derived from A.A. Milne's Winnie the Pooh, whose "proper" name is Edward Bear. Their top singles include "You, Me and Mexico", "Last Song", and "Close Your Eyes", all three of which were top five in Canada and charted well in the United States.

[Verse 1]
G E
Paint your face and run around.
C D
Dance in silky satin gowns.
C F C
Turn my full length mirror dow-hown,
G E
Oh you think you're safe and sound.
D7
But you know what I found.
[Verse 2]
G E
Base this lifetime on a lie,

Which you then proceed to hide.

Comes a time I can't deci-hide.

To think it's time that you tried to see...

Your masquerade,

And that's an awful game to play.

Making you the queen of diamonds honey,

On the ace, of spa-ya-ya-yades.
