Now the part with words, with chords. The chords for the chorus part

are kind of strange, and I'm not sure I have them right, so anybody who

can either name the chords better or give me better ones to use will

receive my undying gratitude :-).

D G D

Come my love, I'll tell you a tale,

D A7 D

Of a boy and girl, and their Love Story.

D G D

And how he loved her, oh so much,

D A7 D

And all the charms she did possess.

(use same chords as above:)

Now this did happen once upon a time,

When things were not so complex.

And how he worshipped the ground she walked,

And when he looked in her eyes, he became obsessed.

(Chorus)

B C G* B

My love is like a storybook story,

B G A B

But it's as real as the feelings I feel.

B C G* B

My love is like a storybook story,

B G A B

But it's as real as the feelings I feel.

B G A G

But it's as real as the feelings I feel.

(the rest is the same as above):

(He said) "Don't you know I love you oh so much,

Lay my heart at the foot of your dress."

(She said) "Don't you know that Storybook Loves

Always have a happy ending."

Then he swooped her up, just like in the books,

And on his stallion, they rode away.

(Chorus)

Here are the chord formations that I use. Note that the "G*" chord

is just a smaller version of the barred G chord at the 10th fret.

The instrumental is actually a bit off - sometimes Mark Knopfler

decides to be creative, but that's OK 'cuz I do too :-). Corrections,

additions, or whatever are welcomed.

I noticed a couple of people asking for TAB of the theme for Princess

Bride. I wore out my tape awhile ago, but here is what I remember of

the accoustic part. It's not exact by any means, but should be fairly

close.
