D a Dustland fairytale beginning A G With just another white trash county kiss D In '61, long brown hair and foolish eyes D He looked just like you'd want him to A G Some kind of slick chrome American prince A Bm A blue jean serenade G Moon River what'd you do to me E/G# I don't believe you Chorus: D Bm Saw Cinderella in a party dress but A/C# She was looking for a night gown D I saw the devil wrapping up his hands F#m G He's getting ready for the showdown F#m A#dim7 Bm I saw the minute that I turned away A/C# D I got my money on a pawn tonight The change came in disguise of revelation, set his soul on fire She said she'd always knew he'd come around And the decades disappear like sinking ships, but we persevere God gives us hope, but we still fear what we don't know The mind is poison Castles in the sky sit stranded vandalized We're drawbridges closing Chrous: Saw Cinderella in a party dress But she was looking for a nightgown I saw the devil wrapping up his hands He's getting ready for the showdown I saw the ending when they turned the page I threw my money and I ran away Straight to the valley of the great divide A D Out where the dreams all hide, G Out where the wind don't blow. Bm Out here the good girls die, D And the sky won't snow. G Out here the bird don't sing, Out here the field don't grow. Bm Out here the bell don't ring, B7 E E7 Out here the bell don't ring. G D Out here the good girls die. Chorus: Now Cinderella don't you go to sleep It's such a bitter form of refuge Why don't you know the kingdom's under siege And everybody needs you Is there still magic in the midnight sun Or did you leave it back in sixty-one In the cadence of a young man's eyes Out where the dreams all hide You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA  Am  A C#  D  E  E7  F#m  G  G#  Bm  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
