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_dont
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.

Once_upon_a_time_ago,
way_up_in_the_land_of_sleet_and_snow,
how_this_fairy_tale_would_go
I_could_not_have_known.
I_had_searched_around_the_world_so_mean,
from_Livingston_to_Palestine,
trying_to_pursue_my_dream
of_love
It_was_then_I_met_this_girl_so_fine,
she_made_me_think_so_fast_I_left_my_thoughts_behind
and_I_tried_to_pass_for_a
sophisticated,_northern_man.
I_said_"Why,_yes,_my_dear,_I_know_exactly_what_you_mean,
because_theres_not_so_much_I_havent_done_or_seen,
and_may_I_say_your_eyes_are_the_loveliest
shade_of_jade."
__(Chorus):
__Em_Fm_F#m_Gm___G7/6
I_said_Come_on,_baby
__Em_Fm_F#m_Gm___G7/6
Come_on,_baby
__Em_Fm_F#m_Gm___G7/6
woo-oo-oo_come_on,_baby
__E___A
It_was_then_I_knew_I_had_made_my_first_mistake.
She_did_not_even_start_to_wait.
And_as_she_turned_around_to_walk_away
this_is_what_she_had_to_say:
She_told_me_"Man_I_come_from_way_down_south,
Ive_got_a_picket_fence_with_a_picket_house,
and_I_dont_need_no_fast-talkin
northern_man_like_you_around."
__(Chorus)
Honey,_I_dont_know_just_what_you_heard,
but_Alabama_is_my_favorite_word
and_Birmingham_is_a
long_way_from_here.
Well_I_could_see_her_light_begin_to_shine.
She_turned_back_around,_her_eyes_met_mine
and_suddenly_the_whole_world_became
a_better_place.
Even_if_it_was_only_for_an_instant
because_it_was_then_I_knew_I_had_made
my_second_mistake.
She_told_me_"Man,_that_was_a_real_good_try,
but_Alabamas_not_where_I_reside.
I_come_from_where_the_rivers_wide,
and_the_crawfish_hide."
__(Chorus)
Honey,_I_dont_know_just_what_you_heard,
but_Louisiana_is_my_favorite_word,
and_Now_Orleans_is_a
long_way_from_here.
She_just_looked_at_me_and_shook_her_head.
"Your_lines_are_pretty_sad,"_she_said.
You_are_a_lonely,_weak,_pathetic_man
if_this_is_doin_the_best_you_can.
It_was_then_I_knew_I_had_made_my_third_mistake.
Three_strikes,_right_across_the_plate,
and_as_I_hollered_"Honey,_please_wait"
she_was_gone.
__(Chorus)
Honey,_I_dont_know_just_what_you_heard.
Bartender_set_em_up_are_my_favorite_words
because_the_love_I_need_is_a
long_way_from_here.
So_there_I_sat_so_all_alone
like_a_king_who_sits_upon_his_throne
and_whose_kingdom_may_have_just_gone_home
with_another_kingdom.
So_as_you_can_imagine,_much_to_my_suprise
when_the_door_was_flung_back_open_wide.
It_was_a_miracle,_she_walked_inside
and_pulled_her_chair_up_next_to_me.
(one_line_-_chords_only)
And_thats_when_she_knew_she_had_made_her_first_mistake.
__(Chorus_-_chords_only,_no_vocal)
Honey,_I_dont_know_just_what_you_heard,
but_Come_on,_baby_are_my_favorite_words,
and_where_were_goin_is_a
long_way_from_here.
And_where_were_goin_is_a
long_way_from_here.
So_like_I_said_before,_I_could_not_have_known
how_this_fairy_tale_would_finally_go
still_the_only_certain_thing_for_sure
is_what_I_do_not_know.
So_like_the_years_and_all_the_seasons_pass
and_like_the_sand_runs_through_the_hourglass
I_just_keep_on_running_faster
chasing_the_happily_I_am_ever_after.
(one_line_-_chords_only)
I_just_keep_on_running_faster
chasing_the_happily_I_am_ever_after.
(3_lines_-_chords_only)
