A Dustland Fairytale

[Intro: ] D D D D Verse 1: D D A G A dustland fairytale beginning, just another white trash county kiss. D D D D Sixty-one, long brown hair and foolish eyes. D D A G He looked just like you’d want him to - some kind of slick chrome American prince. A Bm Bm G G A blue jean serenade, Moon River, what you do to me. E E But I don't believe you. Chorus 1: D D Em9/B Em9/B Saw Cinderella in a party dress but she was looking for a nightgown. A A D D/F# I saw the devil wrapping up his hands, he’s getting ready for the showdown. G D/F# (D/A#) Bm A D D I saw the minute that I turned away, I got my money on a palm tonight. Verse 2: D D A G The change came in disguise of revelation set his soul on fire. D/A Em9/B D D She says she always knew he'd come around. D D Bm Bm And the decades disappear like sinking ships that we persevere. G G/B D D God gives us hope, but we still fear, we don't know, the mind is poison. Bm Bm G G Castles in the sky sit stranded, vandalised. E E The drawbridge is closing. Chorus 2: D/A D/A Em9/B Em9/B Saw Cinderella in a party dress but she was looking for a nightgown. A A D D/F# I saw the devil wrapping up his hands, he’s getting ready for the showdown. G D/F# (D/A#) Bm A D I saw the ending when they turned the page, I threw my money and I ran away. D/F# A Straight to the valley of the great divide. Middle Eight: A D D (A) G Out where the dreams all hide, out where the wind don’t blow. G (A) Bm Bm (A) D Out here the good girls die, and the sky won’t snow. D (A) G G (A) G Out here the bird don't sing, out here the field don't grow. G (A) Bm B7 E E7 Out here the bell don't ring, out here the bell don't ring. G G D/A Out here the good girls die. Outro: D/A Em9/B Em9/B Now Cinderella don't you go to sleep, it’s such a bitter form of refuge. A A D D/F# Oh don't you know the kingdom’s under siege? And everybody needs you. G D/F# (D/A#) Bm A D Is there still magic in the midnight sun? Or did you leave it back in sixty-one? D/F# G G (A) D In the cadence of the young man’s eyes, and where the dreams roll high.
