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.

  D9              B7#9            E9              A7/6
