CAPO ON THE 1ST FRET

Intro/Turnaround: C G C G C G  (hammer on the 2nd string for C )

(If you want the slide sound that is in the song just take the C formation and 
slide up 2 frets to form a D (only in the chorus really though))

C                 D        G
I came to see her daddy for sit down man to man
C9         D      G
It wasn't any secret i'd be asking for her hand
Am              D                    G         Em7         C9
I guess that's why he left me waiting in the living room by myself
Am                        G           D
with at least a dozen pictures of her sitting on a shelf

1st Chorus
C                G
She was playing Cinderella
C                  G
She was riding her first bike
Em7
Bouncing on the bed and looking for a pillow fight
C9
Running through the sprinkler with a big popsicle grin
D
Dancing with her dad, looking up at him
Am              D
In her eyes i'm Prince Charming
G            Em7         C9
But to him i'm just some fella
Am                  D
riding in and stealing Cinderella

Verse 2:Chords Stay The Same
I leaned in towards those pictures to get a better look at one
When I heard a voice behind me say "Now, ain't she something, son?"
I said "Yes, she quite a woman" and he just stared at me
Then I realized that in his eyes she would always be

2nd Chorus
C                G
She was playing Cinderella
C                  G
She was riding her first bike
Em7
Bouncing on the bed and looking for a pillow fight
C9
Running through the sprinkler with a big popsicle grin
D
Dancing with her dad, looking up at him
Am              D
In her eyes i'm Prince Charming
G            Em7         C9
But to him i'm just some fella
Am                  D
riding in and stealing Cinderella

(Seen this played two separate ways in between Chorus and Bridge)
1) The beginning of the intro
              OR
2)Em7 D/F G 2x (Watch the video to see how that part is played)

Bridge

D               G
He slapped me on the shoulder
C9
Then he called her in the room
D                           Em
When she threw her arms around him
Am          Em7        C9
That's when I could see it too

Final Chorus
She was Playing Cinderella
Riding her first bike
Bouncing on the bed and looking for a pillow fight
Running through the sprinkler with a big popsicle grin
Dancing with her dad, looking up at him
Am                     D
If he gives me a hard time
G        Em7      C9
I can't blame the fella
Am                           D 
I'm the one who's stealing Cinderella
