Verse:
G+G
I've told you almost every bedtime story
D7D7
And you've heard almost every nursery rhyme
C majorC
So tonight before you'll go to sleep
G+G E7E7
And pray the Lord your soul to keep
A7A7 D7D7 G+G
Here's mommy's favorite story one more time
Once upon a time there was a castle
D7D7
And in this castle lived a king and queen
C majorC
And it came to pass they both were blessed
G+G E7E7
By one little blue eyed princess
A7A7 D7D7
With the softest golden curls you've ever seen
G+G
But then one day he met this pretty lady
D7D7
And she had lots of pretty words to say
C majorC
And this part makes your mommy sad
G+G E7E7
Cause oh what big eyes she had
A7A7 D7D7 G+G
And she took his hand and led him far away
Verse:
C majorC D7D7 G+G
Still it's just another bedtime story
D7D7 G+G
But telling it brings teardrops to my eyes
C majorC D7D7 G+G
Just another pretty bedtime story
D7D7 G+G
So please forgive mommy if she cries
Then it came to pass the king grew lonely
D7D7
And the pretty lady wasn't all she seemed
C majorC
He realized that he was wrong
G+G E7E7
And started his long journey home
A7A7 D7D7
For he missed his little princess and his queen
G+G
Then he was back and safe inside his castle
D7D7
And tears of joy came pouring down like rain
C majorC
Then the castle rang with laughter
G+G E7E7
They lived happy ever after
A7A7 D7D7 G+G
Knowing he would never leave again
