_ _ _ _ _ Once upon [D] a time, [Em] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ in a far off kingdom, _ _ _ lived [G] a fair maiden, a sad young [Em] lad, _ [D] and a childless baker.
More than life, I wish, more than anything, more than the moon, I [Em] wish, the king is giving a festival.
More than life, I wish, _ more than riches, _ [D] I wish my cow will give us some milk.
More than anything, I wish we had a [F] child, I _ _ _ _ wish we _ _ _ might have a child.
I wish [Dm] _ _ _
to _ _ _ go to the festival.
The poor girl's mother had died.
Used to develop a festival, we wish to go to the festival, the festival, the [A] king's [Dm] festival.
And her father had taken for his new wife, a _ woman with two daughters of her own.
You look at your nails, you look at your dress, people would laugh at you.
Nevertheless, she still wants to go to the festival, dance [Gm] before the prince.
[F] _ [Eb] _ [N] _ _ _ _
[Ebm] _ _ All three were beautiful of face, but vile [D] and black of heart.
[Em] Jack, on the other hand, had no father, and his mother?
I wish.
Well, she was not quite beautiful.
[G] I wish my son were not a [Em] fool.
_ _ I wish my house was not a mess.
_ _ I wish [G] the cow was full of [Em] milk, I wish the walls were full of gold.
I wish a lot of things.
_ You foolish child!
What in heaven's name are you [D] doing with a cow inside the house?
A warm [G] environment might be just what Milky White needs to produce his milk.
[E] It's a she!
How many times must I [G] tell you, only she's can give milk!
_ _ _ _ [Db] Come in, little girl.
_ _ I wish. _
It's not for me, it's for my granny in the woods.
A loaf of bread, _ _ please.
To bring [Ab] my poor old hungry granny in [Db] the woods.
Just a loaf of bread, _ please. _ _
Cinderella's stepmother had a [Gbm] surprise for her. _ _
_ _ [Bm] _ I have [G] emptied a pot of lentils into the ashes for you.
If you have picked them out again in two hours' time, then you shall go to the ball with us.
And perhaps a sticky [Bb] _ _ [Eb] bun for _ _ _ _ birds in the sky.
_ Birds in the eaves, in the [Dm] leaves, in the fields, in the castles and ponds.
And a few [Gm] old stars.
Come, little birds.
Down from the eaves and the leaves, over fields, out of castles and [Fm] ponds.
_ _ _ No _ squeeze, pal.
_ [Bb] _ _ _ _
[Fm] _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [C] _ _
[G] _ [C] Quick, little birds, look through the ashes.
Pick and peck, but swiftly sift through the ashes [Bb] into the pot.
Listen well, son.
Milky White must be taken [Am] to market.
Mother, [D] no.
He's the best [C] cow.
[D] Worse, worse.
_ _ [Am] She's been dry [Em] for a week.
No food, no money, and no choice but to sell her while she can still command a price.
But Milky White is my best friend in the whole world.
Look at her.
There are bugs on her dugs.
[C] _ There are flies in her mice.
[Em] There's a lump on her rump, big enough to be [C] a hump.
Oh, son!
_ We've no time to sit and dither.
While her withers, wither, wither.
_ _ [E] No one [G] keeps a cow for a friend.
Sometimes I fear you're touched.
[F]
Into the woods it's time to go.
I hate [Bb] to leave, I have to [F] go.
Into the woods it's time and [G] so [F] I must [Bb] begin my journey.
[F] Into the woods and through the trees to where I [D] am [Ab] expected, ma'am.
Into the woods to Grandmother's house. _
_ _ Into the woods to Granduncle's.
[D] You're certain of your [Ebm] way?
The way [Bb] is clear, the light is good.
I have no fear, [G] nor no [Bb] one should.
The woods are just trees, the trees are just wood.
[E] I [Bb] sort of [F] hate to ask [D] it, [F] but do you [Bb] have a basket? _ _ _
_ [Eb] Don't [G] stray and be [Bb] late.
Save some of those sweets for Granny.
_ _ Into the woods and down the dell, [Eb] the path [Dm] is straight, [Bb] I know it well.
Into the woods and who can tell what's waiting on the journey?
Into the woods to bring [Eb] some bread to Granny who [D] is sick [Eb] and dead.
Never can tell what lies ahead, [Bb] for all that I know she's already [Eb] dead.
_ But into the woods, [Cm] _ _ [Fm]
woods, into the woods to Grandmother's [G] house and [F] home [Ab] before [Eb] dark.
_ [N] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Eb] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ My _ herds, back to the sky.
Back to the eaves and the leaves and the fields and the cows.
[Bb] Hurry up and do my hair, Cinderella, are you ready?
[G] _ _
[C] Here I found a [Bb] little tear, Cinderella, can't you hide [E] it with a hat?
You [F] look beautiful.
I know.
She [Bb] means, [F] put it in a twist.
Who'll be [Eb] here?
Mother should be nice, father should be good, that was [Bb] always their advice.
So be nice, Cinderella, good Cinderella.
Nice Cinderella, be nice.
What's the good of [F] being good if everyone is blind?
[Bb] Always left behind, never mind Cinderella. _
_ [F] _ _ _ _ _ _ [E] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
I'm sorry.
_ _ Claude.
[Eb] No, no, no, no.
[Db] _ _ _ [D] No. _
_ _ _ Because the baker had lost his father and his mother in a baking accident. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Well, at least that's what he believed.
He was eager to have a family of his own and concerned that all efforts until now had
