CAPO ON THE 1ST FRET

Intro/Turnaround: C5 G5 C5 G5 C5 G5  (hammer on the 2nd string for C5 )

(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))

C5                 D5        G5
I came to see her daddy for sit down man to man
C5         D5      G5
It wasn't any secret i'd be asking for her hand
A5              D5                    G5         E5         C5
I guess that's why he left me waiting in the living room by myself
A5                        G5           D5
with at least a dozen pictures of her sitting on a shelf

1st Chorus
C5                G5
She was playing Cinderella
C5                  G5
She was riding her first bike
E5
Bouncing on the bed and looking for a pillow fight
C5
Running through the sprinkler with a big popsicle grin
D5
Dancing with her dad, looking up at him
A5              D5
In her eyes i'm Prince Charming
G5            E5         C5
But to him i'm just some fella
A5                  D5
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
C5                G5
She was playing Cinderella
C5                  G5
She was riding her first bike
E5
Bouncing on the bed and looking for a pillow fight
C5
Running through the sprinkler with a big popsicle grin
D5
Dancing with her dad, looking up at him
A5              D5
In her eyes i'm Prince Charming
G5            E5         C5
But to him i'm just some fella
A5                  D5
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

D5               G5
He slapped me on the shoulder
C5
Then he called her in the room
D5                           E5
When she threw her arms around him
A5          E5        C5
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
A5                     D5
If he gives me a hard time
G5        E5      C5
I can't blame the fella
A5                           D5 
I'm the one who's stealing Cinderella
