INTRO:

VERSE 1:
A
She stands before the mirror
Asus
Smiles at her reflection
A E A
Striking sexy poses in the glass
A
She paints her lips a brilliant red
Asus
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
Asus
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
Asus
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
Asus
And was by all adored
A E A
They say she was the fairest of them all
A
They called her cinderella
Asus
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
Asus
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
Asus
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
Asus
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
Asus
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
Asus
Who's the fairest of them all
