Berikut ini lirik dan chord lagu “A Dustland Fairytale” dari The Killers.
D
a Dustland fairytale beginning
A G
With just another white trash county kiss
D
In '61, long brown hair and foolish eyes
D
He looked just like you'd want him to
A G
Some kind of slick chrome American prince
A Bm
A blue jean serenade
G
Moon River what'd you do to me
E/G#
I don't believe you
Chorus:
D Bm
Saw Cinderella in a party dress but
A/C#
She was looking for a night gown
D
I saw the devil wrapping up his hands
F#m G
He's getting ready for the showdown
F#m A#dim7 Bm
I saw the minute that I turned away
A/C# D
I got my money on a pawn tonight
The change came in disguise of revelation,
set his soul on fire
She said she'd always knew he'd come around
And the decades disappear like sinking ships,
but we persevere
God gives us hope,
but we still fear what we don't know
The mind is poison
Castles in the sky sit stranded vandalized
We're drawbridges closing
Chrous:
Saw Cinderella in a party dress
But she was looking for a nightgown
I saw the devil wrapping up his hands
He's getting ready for the showdown
I saw the ending when they turned the page
I threw my money and I ran away
Straight to the valley of the great divide
A D
Out where the dreams all hide,
G
Out where the wind don't blow.
Bm
Out here the good girls die,
D
And the sky won't snow.
G
Out here the bird don't sing,
Out here the field don't grow.
Bm
Out here the bell don't ring,
B7 E E7
Out here the bell don't ring.
G D
Out here the good girls die.
Chorus:
Now Cinderella don't you go to sleep
It's such a bitter form of refuge
Why don't you know the kingdom's under siege
And everybody needs you
Is there still magic in the midnight sun
Or did you leave it back in sixty-one
In the cadence of a young man's eyes
Out where the dreams all hide
