Chords

I noticed that there were a ton of tabs for this, but no chords, so I decided to figure some out. It’s not 100% accurate, but it fits when played along with the song. 3/4 time signature. I HAVE figured out super-simplified versions of the fancy riffs played between the verses, and will update when I have the tabs written out. NOTE ABOUT ALTERNATE STRUMMING PATTERN: Instead of letting the notes ring out (as in pattern one), you can just accent the main rhythm strums and do softer strums in between [Intro] x2 (background to guitar solo. Each chord = 1 measure): F#m F#m C# F#m [Verse]
F#m   D            E           A
 Solitaire with a song in her heart

     D            E        A
But what is that song to sing?

F#m          D      C#          F#m
Turned her back on all that she knew

         D          E     A
In the hopes of a golden ring
[Chorus]
         F#m    D   E
And the rains came down

         F#m   D             E
And the stars fell from the sky

        F#m  D    E
Oh how dark the night

     D      A           E          F#m
It always seems those castles and dreams

 D              E      F#
Fade with the morning light

   C#
(guitar solo)
[Verse]
F#m     D   E A
Such a sad story

      D     E       A
That time loves to tell

F#m      D    C#           F#m
Copper coins shine for the sun

           D           E       A
From the floor of the wishing well
[Chorus]
         F#m    D   E
And the rains came down

         F#m   D             E
And the stars fell from the sky

        F#m  D    E
Oh how dark the night

     D      A           E          F#m
It always seems those castles and dreams

 D              E      F#
Fade with the morning light

   F#
(guitar solo)
[Bridge]
 D         F#m        D                  F#m
La dah dah…la dah dah…la dah dah, dah dah dah

 D         F#m         D          C#
La dah dah…la dah dah…la dah dah dah
[Verse]
F#m      D        E   A
So the jewel of jeopardy

  D               E         A
Shines with each dangerous step

F#m   D      C#m          F#m
So unsure of what we’ve become

         D        E            A
What we have and what we have left
[Chorus]
         F#m    D   E
And the rains came down

         F#m   D             E
And the stars fell from the sky

        F#m  D    E
Oh how dark the night

     D      A           E          F#m
It always seems those castles and dreams

 D              E      F#
Fade with the morning light

         F#m    D   E
And the rains came down

         F#m   D             E
And the stars fell from the sky

        F#m  D    E
Oh how dark the night

     D      A           E          F#m
It always seems those castles and dreams

 D              E      F#
Fade with the morning light
[Outro]
     D      A           E          F#m
It always seems those castles and dreams

 D              E       F#
Fade with the morning light
