D5
A Dustland Fairytale beginning
      A5                               D5
Just another white trash county kiss
                             G5               D5
In '61, long brown hair, foolish eyes
D5
He looks just like you'd want him to
                     A5                                 B5
Some kind of slick chrome American Prince
G5                 D5                     B5                     E5
A blue jean serenade, and moon river, what you do to me
E5
I don't believe you
D5                           D5
Saw Cinderella in a party dress
                                          A5
But she was looking for a nightgown
                                             D5
I saw the devil wrapping up his hands
                                         A5
He's getting ready for the showdown
                                              B5
I saw the minute that I turned away
                G5                            D5
I got my money on a palm tonight
D5
Change came in disguise of revelation, set his soul on fire
                             G5                           D5
She says she always knew he'd come around
                                                        B5
And the decades disappear like sinking ships
                                             G5
But we persevere, God gives us hope
                                           D5
But we still fear what we don't know

The mind is poison
B5                                            E5
Castles in the sky sit stranded, vandalized
E5
Drawbridges closing
D5                        D5
Saw Cinderella in a party dress
                                             A5
But she was looking for a nightgown
                                                D5
I saw the devil wrapping up his hands
                                                 G5
He's getting ready for the showdown
             A5                                             B5
I saw the ending where they turned the page
                                      D5
I took my money and I ran away
                                                 A5
Straight to the valley of the great divide
                                     D5
Out where the dreams are high
                                    B5
Out here, the wind don't blow
                                G5
Out here, the good girls die
                           D5
And the sky won't snow
                                   B5
Out here, the birds don't sing
                                    G5
Out here, the fields don't grow
                                 B5
Out here, the bell don't ring
                                    E5                                       A5
Out here, the bell don't ring
                                   D5
Out here, the good girls die
              A5                                 D5
Now Cinderella, don't you go to sleep
                                       A5
It's such a bitter form of refuge
                                                           D5
Oh don't you know, the kingdom's under siege
                               A5
And everybody needs you
                                                D5
Is there still magic in the midnight sun
                 G5                  D5
Or did you leave it back in 61?
                                               G5
In the cadence of a young man's eyes
A5                          D5
I wouldn't dream so high
