Capo 2

Intro: D 

verse 1 
                G 
She came on the stage 
     C 
In a dress like the sky 
        G 
She had painted a sunset 
 F 
Around her eyes 

And all of the people 
                    D 
Were charmed and surprised 
    C          G        D 
How pretty and high and shy she was 
C          G        D 
Pretty and high and shy 


verse 2 
           G 
She at the window 
        C 
And the prince upon the bed 
     G 
They were for an hour 
  F 
Before he said 

If she had no place else 
                  
She was welcome to stay 
        D          G 
But she better get back 
        F               D 
And she thanked him the same 
            C          G        D 
Leaving him pretty and high and dry 
C          G        D 
Pretty and high and dry 


verse 3 
                  G 
The prince was confused 
      C 
So he asked the magician 
      G 
The magician arrived 
       F 
At the answer profound 

If she takes off her dress 
                       D 
Then the sky will fall down 
       C             G 
If she takes off her dress 
         D 
Then the sky will fall down 
             C          G          D 
'Cause she's pretty and high and a lie 
C          G          D         G 
Pretty and high and a lie 


verse 4 
                 C 
I work at the circus 
      F 
And I sleep with the clown 
                   C 
When I took off my dress 
    Bb 
The sky fell down 

And if the sky falls down 
                    G 
Then we play on the ground 
           F          C             G 
'Cause I'm pretty and high and only partly a lie 
F          C                      G 
Pretty and high and only partly a lie 
F          C                      G 
Pretty and high and only partly a lie
