Now the part with words, with chords. The chords for the chorus part
are kind of strange, and I'm not sure I have them right, so anybody who
can either name the chords better or give me better ones to use will
receive my undying gratitude :-).
DGD
Come my love, I'll tell you a tale,
DA7D
Of a boy and girl, and their Love Story.
DGD
And how he loved her, oh so much,
DA7D
And all the charms she did possess.
(use same chords as above:)
Now this did happen once upon a time,
When things were not so complex.
And how he worshipped the ground she walked,
And when he looked in her eyes, he became obsessed.
(chorus)
BCG* B
My love is like a storybook story,
BGAB
But it's as real as the feelings I feel.
BCG* B
My love is like a storybook story,
BGAB
But it's as real as the feelings I feel.
BGAG
But it's as real as the feelings I feel.
(the rest is the same as above):
(He said) "Don't you know I love you oh so much,
Lay my heart at the foot of your dress."
(She said) "Don't you know that Storybook Loves
Always have a happy ending."
Then he swooped her up, just like in the books,
And on his stallion, they rode away.
(chorus)
Here are the chord formations that I use. Note that the "G*" chord
is just a smaller version of the barred G chord at the 10th fret.

The instrumental is actually a bit off -- sometimes Mark Knopfler
decides to be creative, but that's OK 'cuz I do too :-). Corrections,
additions, or whatever are welcomed.

Subject: Princess Bride
I noticed a couple of people asking for TAB of the theme for Princess
Bride. I wore out my tape awhile ago, but here is what I remember of
the accoustic part. It's not exact by any means, but should be fairly
close.
