Em        D          Am      Em
One day the sun, too tired to shine
Em            D        Am      Em
Slept in the deep, green sombre lake
Em              D      Am      Em
And in the darkness, the world did ail
Em        D       Am      Em
Until she came, for all our sake.

 [Chorus]
               G             D    
Oh that girl with pearls in her hair
Am                Em
Is she real or just made of air
G             D
Life went on as before
Am                           Em
Man would live once more...


Em        D          Am      Em
The dawn did break and she went home
Em        D          Am      Em
Back to the deep, dark seas alone
Em        D          Am      Em
She lives in a world of fairy tales
Em        D          Am      Em
Her lovely hair and only pearls.

 
[Chorus]
 G             D  
Oh that girl with pearls in her hair
Am                Em
Is she real or just made of air
 G             D  
Long since she's been asleep
Am                Em
In the ocean deep.


Em        D          Am      Em
And when you feel lonely and blue
Em        D          Am      Em
A little star will fall on you
Em        D          Am      Em
White child in pearls your way will show
Em        D          Am      Em
As did white stones long years ago.

 

[Chorus]

 G             D  
Oh that girl with pearls in her hair
Am                Em
Is she real or just made of air
 G             D  
I know she'll wait for me
Am                Em
She will set me free.
