3/4 time signature. I HAVE figured out super-simplified versions
of the fancy riffs played between the verses, and will update when I have the tabs written out.

F#m F#m C# F#m

[Verse]

F#m D E A

Solitaire with a song in her heart

But what is that song to sing?

Turned her back on all that she knew

In the hopes of a golden ring

Fade with the morning light

Such a sad story

D E A

That time loves to tell

F#m D C# F#m

Copper coins shine for the sun

D E A

From the floor of the wishing well

[Chorus]

F#m D E

And the rains came down

F#m D E

And the stars fell from the sky

Oh how dark the night

So the jewel of jeopardy

D E A

Shines with each dangerous step

F#m D C#m F#m

So unsure of what we’ve become

D E A

What we have and what we have left

[Chorus]

F#m D E

And the rains came down

F#m D E

And the stars fell from the sky

F#m D E

Oh how dark the night

It always seems those castles and dreams

Fade with the morning light

F#m D E

And the rains came down

F#m D E

And the stars fell from the sky

Oh how dark the night

It always seems those castles and dreams

Fade with the morning light
