C
She stands before the mirror

Csus
Smiles at her reflection

C             G            C
Striking sexy poses in the glass

C
She paints her lips a brilliant red

Csus
Piles her hair high on her head

C              G                C
Struggles to replace a false eyelash

    G
She powders up her face

           F
Paints her cheeks to match her lips

         C
Fittin  tight around her hips

    G
And there inside her room

               F
She stands and gazes at herself

      G
Where beauty lives in memory

F                  C
She lives in fairy tales

C
Mirror, mirror on the wall

Csus
Who's the fairest of them all

C                     G                  C
She sings as she goes waltzing cross the floor

C
She keeps a candle burning

Csus
And she waits for his returning

C                    
When beauty lives in memory

G                C 
It lives forever more

C
She was a fairy princess once

Csus
And was by all adored

C                    G               C
They say she was the fairest of them all

C
They called her cinderella

Csus
And they say that every fella

C                   G               C
Would gladly answer to her beck and call

G
So the story went

F
They tell of how this handsome prince

C                   G            C
Stole her heart and wandered far away

C
He took her heart and took her mind

C
Now she has lost all track of time

C               G                    C
Forty years has passed and still she waits singing

C
Mirror, mirror on the wall

Csus
Who's the fairest of them all

C                     G                  C
She sings as she goes waltzing cross the floor

C
She keeps a candle burning

Csus
And she waits for his returning

C                    
When beauty lives in memory

G                C 
It lives forever more

C
Meanwhile back inside her room

Csus
The shads are pulled it's half past noon 

C                        G           C
But in her mind why it's forty years ago

C
She recalls the beauty of their love

Csus
She remembers he was beautiful

C                 
And of course she always knew she was

G                  C
And so the past unfolds

G
And all at once inside her mind

    F
She sees him at the door

C
And as he's leading her away 

          G              C
She falls dead upon the floor

C
Mirror, mirror on the wall

Csus
Who's the fairest of them all
