Am    C     G    Am
Fairy lady, who stands on the walls
   C         G       Am
Life is short and wait is long
     D       Am   G           F     D
The stars, away, dim with the dawn...
Am     F     G        Am
Fairy lady, who stands on the walls


Am   C      G     Am
Your tale has only begun
              C        G       Am
It comes from far, the Nowhereland
     D       Am        G            F     D
The wind is blowing a sound so well known...
Am     F     G        Am
Fairy lady, your love is long gone

Am  G   Em          Am                   G   Em
Oh darling, hear my soul and heed my cry
Am             G    Em          F                 D
Cause all my crying may flood a river in my heart

C G   Bb      F
Oh,   life is good
C G   Bb      F
Oh,   life is good
C G   Bb      F
Oh,   life is good...
Ab  Bb
As good as you wish!"

Am      C     G    Am
Pretty lady, the horses are back
    C       G       Am
Bringing joy and happiness
     D       Am         G           F     D
But all of a sudden the horses are gone
                F             G         Am
It was only the sound of your heartbeat alone!

Am  G   Em          Am                   G   Em
Oh darling, hear my soul and heed my cry
Am             G    Em          F                 D
Cause all my crying may flood a river in my heart

C G   Bb      F
Oh,   life is good
C G   Bb      F
Oh,   life is good
C G   Bb      F
Oh,   life is good...
Ab  Bb
As good as a kiss!"

Ebm    Db   Bbm      Ebm               Db   Bbm
Oh my darling, now I cannot halt my cries
Ebm               Db     Bbm
My tears have drowned me
          B  Bb
And I refuse to realise

Ebm           Db    Bbm           Ebm                   Db   Bbm
What's left around me, it's all so strange, it's all so dark
Ebm       Db       Bbm
I'm all alone here
            B            C#
To mend the pieces of my heart

(piano)
Am       C        G            Am
Little lady, your tale has an end
            C         G          Am
For your love to the skies was sent
      D           Am         G                F       D
He's turned into sparks that shine with the stars...

          F             G         F
...And by night he will always be there
         G      F
For his lady to stare
     G      Am . . . .
And thus he's never died.
