Key: D
Introduction:
D/F#
A Dustland Fairytale beginning
A D
Just another white trash county kiss
G D
In '61, long brown hair, foolish eyes
D/F#
He looks just like you'd want him to
A Bm
Some kind of slick chrome American Prince
G D Bm Em
A blue jean serenade, and moon river, what you do to me
E
I don't believe you
D/F# D
Saw Cinderella in a party dress
A
But she was looking for a nightgown
D
I saw the devil wrapping up his hands
A
He's getting ready for the showdown
Bm
I saw the minute that I turned away
G D
I got my money on a palm tonight
D
Change came in disguise of revelation, set his soul on fire
G D
She says she always knew he'd come around
Bm
And the decades disappear like sinking ships
G
But we persevere, God gives us hope
D
But we still fear what we don't know
The mind is poison
Bm Em
Castles in the sky sit stranded, vandalized
E
Drawbridges closing
D/F# D
Saw Cinderella in a party dress
A
But she was looking for a nightgown
D
I saw the devil wrapping up his hands
G
He's getting ready for the showdown
A Bm
I saw the ending where they turned the page
D
I took my money and I ran away
A
Straight to the valley of the great divide
D
Out where the dreams are high
Bm
Out here, the wind don't blow
G
Out here, the good girls die
D
And the sky won't snow
Bm
Out here, the birds don't sing
G
Out here, the fields don't grow
Bm
Out here, the bell don't ring
Em A
Out here, the bell don't ring
D
Out here, the good girls die
A D
Now Cinderella, don't you go to sleep
A
It's such a bitter form of refuge
D
Oh don't you know, the kingdom's under siege
A
And everybody needs you
D
Is there still magic in the midnight sun
G D
Or did you leave it back in 61?
G
In the cadence of a young man's eyes
A D
I wouldn't dream so high
