Fairy Tale??? Lyle Lovett Lyle performed this (among other gems) on "Austin City Limits" on a songwriters special with Willie Nelson and Rodney Crowell. I don't know if this is even the name, or if it is on one of his records. Every line, except for the chorus, consists of the four-chord pattern D9 - B7#9 - E9 - A7/6. This was performed as more of a story than a song, so the structure of the lyrics is kinda "free-form" at times. The chorus has a different feel to it, with the Em Fm F#m Gm sequence played on the bottom three strings, then let the G7/6 ring.
