           D           D                     A                  G
A dustland fairytale beginning, just another white trash county kiss.
          D               D                D               D
In 'Sixty-One, long brown hair and foolish eyes.
D                           D                          A                     G
  He looked just like you'd want him to - some kind of slick chrome American prince.
  A             Bm         Bm              G          G
A blue jean serenade, Moon River, what you do to me.
    E                    E
But I don't believe you.
[Chorus]
D           D               Gmaj7/B           Gmaj7/B
  Saw Cinderella in a party dress but she was looking for a nightgown.
A           A                     D                   D/F#
  I saw the devil wrapping up his hands, he's getting ready for the showdown.
G          D/F#       D/A# Bm        A                D            D
                     ()                                            
  I saw the minute that I turned away, I got my money on a pawn tonight.
[Verse]
    D                 D            A              G
The change came in disguise of revelation set his soul on fire.
    D/A             Gmaj7/B         D             D
She says she always knew he'd come around.
        D            D                 Bm                  Bm
And the decades disappear like sinking ships that we persevere.
             G                  G/B            D         D
God gives us hope, but we still fear, we don't know, the mind is poison.
Bm               Bm                G              G
  Castles in the sky sit stranded, vandalised.
    E                      E
The drawbridge is closing.
[Chorus]
D/A         D/A             Gmaj7/B           Gmaj7/B
  Saw Cinderella in a party dress but she was looking for a nightgown.
A           A                     D                   D/F#
  I saw the devil wrapping up his hands, he's getting ready for the showdown.
G          D/F#          D/A#  Bm             A                D
                        ()                                     
  I saw the ending when they turned the page, I threw my money and I ran away.
                D/F#                   A
Straight to the valley of the great divide.
[Middle Eight:]
A                         D    D               A        G
                                              ()        
  Out where the dreams all hide,   out where the wind don't blow.
G              A        Bm Bm       A       D
              ()                   ()       
  Out here the good girls die,   and the sky won't snow.
D              A        G    G              A         G
              ()                           ()         
  Out here the bird don't sing,   out here the field don't grow.
G              A        Bm  B7                      E      E7
              ()                                           
  Out here the bell don't ring,   out here the bell don't ring.
G     G                         D/A
        Out here the good girls die.
[Outro]
          D/A                  Gmaj7/B            Gmaj7/B
Now Cinderella don't you go to sleep, it's such a bitter form of refuge.
A              A                        D          D/F#
  Oh don't you know the kingdom's under siege? And everybody needs you.
G               D/F#      D/A#Bm            A                      D
                         ()                                        
  Is there still magic in the midnight sun? Or did you leave it back in 'Sixty-One?
       D/F#                 G    G               A         D
                                                ()                        
In the cadence of a young man's eyes,   and where the dreams roll high.
