Verse 1:

A
The sun is up for me
    D                     C              A
But I know a beauty that shines it out
A

I can hardly see
C              G                A
When she is up letting her veil down

A
But it could ever be
D                     C                A
I’m just a shepherd hiding from the hounds
A
She’s a fantasy
     C                        G                    A
With flowers and bows, pretty coats and a silver crown

A          G G G# A

Verse 2:

A
Every day goes by
    D                       C               A
The sun and the moon making out in the sky
A
We keep each other warm
  C                 G                  A
Snuggling up in the dark Mr. Sheep and I
A
I join my favorite dream
 D                     C                      A
She sings me lullaby's all through the night
A
And wakes me with a kiss
C
Sweet taste of apples and wild strawberries
                          D
I’m in love with her majesty    yeah!

Chorus:

A                     C
So whatcha gonna do?  (ooh!)
        D                   Am
I wanna build the dream for two
Am
So what’s it gonna be?
     C                       D              Am
I’m jumpin’ up and down, but she can’t see
Am
I think you got a chance
      C               D
Just move on over and ask her to dance!
        C                            D
I got silly feet and a lousy beat so how on earth could I make her want me

A          G G G# A

Verse 3:

A
I think it’s gonna rain today
    D                        C                   A
And I’m here on one hill and she’s on the other
A
The clouds are in my way
       C
As the sky opens up
G                  A
Letting her veil down
A
Covering my queen
D                             C                   A
I’m still just a shepherd, so why should I bother
A
The valley in between
     C                    G
Gets deeper and deeper as time passes by
      C               D
Gonna love her til I die
D
So why don’t I
D                                          A
Just make like a prince and give it a try

Chorus:

A
So what’s it gonna be?
        C                       D        Am
I could slingshot myself like a bumblebee
Am
So watcha gonna do?
 C                 D        Am
Use Mr. Sheep as a parachute
Am
One the count of three
    C               D
I’m off to claim my fantasy
      C
In my best clothes buttoned up with a rose
          D
I’m on my way to make you love me

A          G G G# A

Bridge:

Fm           C

In your castle made of sand
           Fm                 Em     Am
Watch your head, my love, I’m coming over
B            E               A
Just so that I can hold your hand
