A By one little F# blue-eyed princess
B With the softest golden curls you've ever E seen.
A But then one day, he met this pretty lady
And she had lots of pretty words to E say
And D this part makes your mommy sad
'Cause, A oh, what big F# eyes she had
And she B took his hand and E led him far a-{A} way. D A
D Still, it's just a-{E} nother bedtime A story
