Cinderella
Words and music by Larry Burnett
(from the album "FireFall")
(Note: This song is played in a modal D tuning. Both the high and low E strings are
down to D. The Dm9 is played like an Am, with the middle finger of the left hand picked up,
the G string open. G is a different form also, because of the modal tuning. Play G by 
the fifth fret on both the low D and A strings.)

Wisperin’ sweet things and, cooin’ softly like a songbird

D                Dm9                    Fmaj7

Sigh on her breath Lord she said, "Hon, I’m heavy with child"

D                     Dm9                     Fmaj7
I said "God damn girl can’t you see, that I’m breakin’ my back

     C                            Am7             D
Just tryin’ to keep my head above water, and it’s turnin’ me wild

I remember her and the boy, did he have all the toys and the joys
