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 :-). D G D Come my love, I'll tell you a tale, D A7 D Of a boy and girl, and their Love Story. D G D And how he loved her, oh so much, D A7 D 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) B C G* B My love is like a storybook story, B G A B But it's as real as the feelings I feel. B C G* B My love is like a storybook story, B G A B But it's as real as the feelings I feel. B G A G 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.

Corrections, additions, or whatever are welcomed. From: corey.sklenicka@granite.mn.org (Corey Sklenicka) 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.
