CAPO ON 2RD

INTRO:
A Asus4 A Asus4

VERSE 1:

A
She stands before the mirror
Asus4
Smiles at her reflection
A	      E            A
Striking sexy poses in the glass
A
She paints her lips a brilliant red
Asus4
Piles her hair high on her head
A	       E                A
Struggles to replace a false eyelash
    E
She powders up her face
           D
Paints her cheeks to match her lips

She wears a dress cut low in the front
         A
Fittin  tight around her hips
    E
And there inside her room
	       D
She stands and gazes at herself
      E
Where beauty lives in memory
D	           A
She lives in fairy tales

Chorus:

A
Mirror, mirror on the wall
Asus4
Who's the fairest of them all
A                     E                  A
She sings as she goes waltzing cross the floor
A
She keeps a candle burning
Asus4
And she waits for his returning
A                    
When beauty lives in memory
E                A 
It lives forever more

VERSE 2:

A
She was a fairy princess once
Asus4
And was by all adored
A                    E               A
They say she was the fairest of them all
A
They called her cinderella
Asus4
And they say that every fella
A                   E               A
Would gladly answer to her beck and call
E
So the story went
D
They tell of how this handsome prince
A                   E            A
Stole her heart and wandered far away
A
He took her heart and took her mind
A
Now she has lost all track of time
A               E                    A
Forty years has passed and still she waits singing

Chorus:

A
Mirror, mirror on the wall
Asus4
Who's the fairest of them all
A                     E                  A
She sings as she goes waltzing cross the floor
A
She keeps a candle burning
Asus4
And she waits for his returning
A                    
When beauty lives in memory
E                A 
It lives forever more

VERSE 3:

A
Meanwhile back inside her room
Asus4
The shads are pulled it's half past noon 
A                        E           A
But in her mind why it's forty years ago
A
She recalls the beauty of their love
Asus4
She remembers he was beautiful
A                 
And of course she always knew she was
E                  A
And so the past unfolds
E
And all at once inside her mind
    D
She sees him at the door
A
And as he's leading her away 

She feels the room begin to sway

Where beauty lives in memory
          E              A
She falls dead upon the floor


A
Mirror, mirror on the wall
Asus4
Who's the fairest of them all
