Sad Cinderella Chords & Lyrics - Townes Van Zandt

[INTRO]
[G] [F] [C]

[VERSE]
[C]when the bandits have [G]stolen your [F]jewellery and [C]gone
and your [F]crippled young gypsy has grown tall and [C]strong
and your [F]dead miscon[G]ceptions have p[F]roven you w[C]rong
well then, [C]Princess, where you [F]planning to turn [G]to?

[VERSE 2]
when your [C]magazine m[G]emory has [F]spun you [C]around
and you r[F]ealise your lovers were just painted [C]clowns
and [F]outside your [G]window you [F]start hearing [C]sounds
where [C]they're building a [F]cross for to burn [G]you

[CHORUS]
when [F]all your bright [G]scarlet turns [C]slowly to [F]blue
will you [G]stop and decide that it's [F]over? [C]

[VERSE 3]
when your [C]tear drops go [G]sour and [F]no longer [C]fall
to [F]splash cross the virgin that lives down the [C]hall
and [F]spends all her [G]nights with an [F]ear to your [C]wall
well [C]then, what will you [F]have you can [G]offer?

[VERSE 4]
[C]when the fire dancers [G]finish and [F]leave you [C]alone
with [F]nothing but embers and sacks full of [C]stone
that [F]hang 'round your [G]neck slicing [F]through to the [C]bone
will [C]there be a [F]place for your [G]laughter?

[CHORUS]
when [F]all your bright [G]scarlet turns [C]slowly to [F]blue
will you [G]stop and decide that it's [F]over? [C]

[VERSE 5]
[C]when your shattered i[G]llusions come a-[F]tumbling [C]home
and [F]all of your butchers you've nourished have [C]grown
and [F]they're suddenly [G]able to [F]leave you [C]alone
and they [C]run like [F]slaves that are set [G]free

[VERSE 6]
[C]when your questions are a[G]nswered and your [F]pleading is [C]done
and your [F]mind starts a-screaming that you ain't the [C]one
that [F]once dwelled within [G]you, will you [F]turn? will you [C]run?
But, [C]Princess, will you come [F]home and get [G]me?

[CHORUS]
when [F]all your bright [G]scarlet turns [C]slowly to [F]blue
will you [G]stop and decide that it's [F]over? [C]
