_ _ _ _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ It reads like [C#] a fairy [A] tale, _
_ [G] _ _ that's what it was. _ _ _
_ [D] _ Young man in his [A] _ prime, _ _
_ [G] _ young girl from across.
_ _ Most _ [D] _ _ _ perfect of [A] strangers, _ _ [F#m] _ _
_ [G] _ and then the night closed _ in.
_ [D] _
And the _ _ _ holy [A] ground took _ [G] care of everything. _ _
_ _ _ [D] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ She _ [A] was a fine one, _ [G] _ he was a handsome man. _ _ _ _
[D] _ _ One look was [A] _ enough, _ _
_ [G] _ _ and away they ran.
_ [D] _ _
_ _ _ They spent many [A] happy hours, _
_ _ [G] and then the night closed in. _ _ _

[D] _ [A] _ [Em] Oh, _ what's [A] the use _ _ in [D] complaining? _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [F#m] _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ In for [A] a penny, _ in for [Bm] a pound. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [F#m] _
_ [Em] _ I _ _
_ [A] remember, _ _ _
_ [D] _ [A] nothing's right.
_ [Bm] _ _ _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ And nothing [A] else _ _ really _ [D] _ counts. _ _
_ [Bm] _ But I recall [A] the promise they made, [D] with a faith [A] I can but [G] admire.
_ _ [F#m] _
_ [Bm] _ That she'd be the one [A] he adored, _ _ [G] and _ he'd be her [A] heart's desire. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [D] _
_ _ _ _ _
Didn't [A] come true in the end, _ [G] _ they went their separate _ _ [D] ways. _
_ _ He couldn't change what [A] he was, _ _
_ [G] _ she wasn't ready to wait. _ _ _
[D] _ _ They couldn't live in [A] the daylight, _ _
_ [G] _ let the night close in.
