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

                                             A

                                                D

                                                 G

             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
