CAPO ON 2RD Chords used: Asus Asus - e:|0 B:|3 :|2 A:|0 E:|X INTRO: A Asus A Asus VERSE 1: She stands before the mirror Asus Smiles at her reflection Striking sexy poses in the glass She paints her lips a brilliant red Asus Piles her hair high on her head Struggles to replace a false eyelash She powders up her face Paints her cheeks to match her lips She wears a dress cut low in the front Fittin tight around her hips And there inside her room She stands and gazes at herself Where beauty lives in memory She lives in fairy tales Chorus: Mirror mirror on the wall Asus Who’s the fairest of them all She sings as she goes waltzing cross the floor She keeps a candle burning Asus And she waits for his returning When beauty lives in memory It lives forever more VERSE 2: She was a fairy princess once Asus And was by all adored They say she was the fairest of them all They called her cinderella Asus And they say that every fella Would gladly answer to her beck and call So the story went They tell of how this handsome prince Stole her heart and wandered far away He took her heart and took her mind Now she has lost all track of time Forty years has passed and still she waits singing Chorus: Mirror mirror on the wall Asus Who’s the fairest of them all She sings as she goes waltzing cross the floor She keeps a candle burning Asus And she waits for his returning When beauty lives in memory It lives forever more VERSE 3: Meanwhile back inside her room Asus The shads are pulled it’s half past noon But in her mind why it’s forty years ago She recalls the beauty of their love Asus She remembers he was beautiful And of course she always knew she was And so the past unfolds And all at once inside her mind She sees him at the door And as he’s leading her away She feels the room begin to sway Where beauty lives in memory She falls dead upon the floor Mirror mirror on the wall Asus Who’s the fairest of them all
