Cinderella
Words and music by Larry Burnett
(from the album "FireFall")
(Note: This song is played in a modal D tuning. Both the high and low E strings are
down to D. The Dm9 is played like an Am, with the middle finger of the left hand picked up,
the G string open. G is a different form also, because of the modal tuning. Play G by
the fifth fret on both the low D and A strings.)
D Dm9 Fmaj7 C
Last December I met a girl, she took a likin' to me
Am7 D
Said she loved me, but she didn't know the meanin' of the word
D Dm9 Fmaj7
She imagined love to be grand, me holdin' her hand and
C Am7 D
Wisperin' sweet things and, cooin' softly like a songbird
D Dm9 Fmaj7
Then one mornin' she came to me, with a tear in her eye and a
C Am7 D
Sigh on her breath Lord she said, "Hon, I'm heavy with child"
D Dm9 Fmaj7
I said "God damn girl can't you see, that I'm breakin' my back
C Am7 D
Just tryin' to keep my head above water, and it's turnin' me wild
D G A D
Cinderella can't you see, don't want your company

You better leave this mornin' leave today,
A G D

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no; No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no;
Fmaj7 C
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no; No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no;
Am7 D
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no; No, no, no, no, no
D Am7 D
Woh, woh, woh...etc. Woh, woh, woh, no
D Dm9 Fmaj7 C
Rockin' chair on the front porch, and I'm thinkin' about all the
Am7 D
things that I did as a young man, now that I'm old
D Dm9 Fmaj7 C
I remember her and the boy, did he have all the toys and the joys
Am7 D
That a young man should have, before he gets too old
D G A D
Cinderella couldn't you see, I didn't want your company
D G A
