A
She stands before the mirror

Asus
Smiles at her reflection

A             E            A
Striking sexy poses in the glass

A
She paints her lips a brilliant red

Asus
Piles her hair high on her head

A              E                A
Struggles to replace a false eyelash

    E
She powders up her face

           D
Paints her cheeks to match her lips
She wears a dress cut low in the front
         A
Fittin  tight around her hips

    E
And there inside her room

               D
She stands and gazes at herself

      E
Where beauty lives in memory

D                  A
She lives in fairy tales
Chorus:
A
Mirror, mirror on the wall

Asus
Who's the fairest of them all

A                     E                  A
She sings as she goes waltzing cross the floor

A
She keeps a candle burning

Asus
And she waits for his returning

A                    
When beauty lives in memory

E                A 
It lives forever more

A
She was a fairy princess once

Asus
And was by all adored

A                    E               A
They say she was the fairest of them all

A
They called her cinderella

Asus
And they say that every fella

A                   E               A
Would gladly answer to her beck and call

E
So the story went

D
They tell of how this handsome prince

A                   E            A
Stole her heart and wandered far away

A
He took her heart and took her mind

A
Now she has lost all track of time

A               E                    A
Forty years has passed and still she waits singing
Chorus:
A
Mirror, mirror on the wall

Asus
Who's the fairest of them all

A                     E                  A
She sings as she goes waltzing cross the floor

A
She keeps a candle burning

Asus
And she waits for his returning

A                    
When beauty lives in memory

E                A 
It lives forever more
VERSE 3:
A
Meanwhile back inside her room

Asus
The shads are pulled it's half past noon 

A                        E           A
But in her mind why it's forty years ago

A
She recalls the beauty of their love

Asus
She remembers he was beautiful

A                 
And of course she always knew she was

E                  A
And so the past unfolds

E
And all at once inside her mind

    D
She sees him at the door

A
And as he's leading her away 
She feels the room begin to sway Where beauty lives in memory
          E              A
She falls dead upon the floor

A
Mirror, mirror on the wall

Asus
Who's the fairest of them all
