Fairy Tales Are True

… and the lyrics…

Fairy Tales are True

[C]Once upon a time, when I was young
[G]Tales were told and songs were sung

I did not know right from wrong
The World for me had just begun

[C]Jack and Jill ran the up the hill
And [G]Jack fell down and broke his crown
[C]All the king’s horses and all the king’s men
[G]Couldn’t put Humpty together again
[C]And when the bough breaks, the cradle will fall
[G]Down will come baby, cradle and all

Are the fairy tales are [Am]true? Are they [F]true?
Once upon a [C]time, happy ever [G]after

[Verse 2]
[C]Little Boy Blue, come blow your horn,
The [G]sheep’s in the meadow, the cow’s in the corn.
[Am]Ashes to ashes! We all fall down
The [F]Emperor’s got nothing on!
The [C]boy’s cried wolf one too many times
[G]I can not tell a lie!

The fairy tales are [Am]true! They’re [F]true!
Once upon a time, happy ever after… How bout [C]you?

[C]Mirror, mirror, on the wall,
[G]Who is the fairest of them all?
[C]Some day your prince will come
[G]And maybe then you’ll kiss that frog
[Am]Someone’s been sleeping in my bed
[F]Mmm, Looking good, Little Red
[C]Fee Fi Fo Fum
[G]Huff and Puff and blow the house down

The fairy tales are [Am]true! They’re [F]true!
Once upon a time, happy ever after…

I’m not [C]saying there be dragons, but I’ve seen a few
I’m [G]saying they can be beaten, and demon’s too
[C]Every story’s has a moral as the rose has it’s thorns
[G]and Life has its lessons, let’s not miss this one
No [Am]listen now my darling, and you listen Daddy too
[F]This is the part you may learn something new
If we’re [C]honest and humble, and have care for the Good
if we’re [G]faithful and earnest, we’ll make it through

Cause fairy tales are [Am]true! They’re [F]true!
Once upon a time, happy ever after…

[Verse2 repeated]

Cause fairy tales are [Am]true! They’re [F]true!
Once upon a time, happy ever after… How bout [C]you?
