Capo 1st fret
Standard (EADGBE)
Intro/Turnaround: (hammer on the 2nd string for )
(If you want the slide sound that is in the song just take the C formation and
slide up 2 frets to form a D (only in the chorus really though))
I came to see her daddy for sit down man to man
It wasn't any secret i'd be asking for her hand
I guess that's why he left me waiting in the living room by myself
with at least a dozen pictures of her sitting on a shelf
1st Chorus
She was playing Cinderella
She was riding her first bike
Bouncing on the bed and looking for a pillow fight
Running through the sprinkler with a big popsicle grin
Dancing with her dad, looking up at him
In her eyes i'm Prince Charming
But to him i'm just some fella
riding in and stealing Cinderella
Verse 2
Chords Stay The Same
I leaned in towards those pictures to get a better look at one
When I heard a voice behind me say "Now, ain't she something, son?"
I said "Yes, she quite a woman" and he just stared at me
Then I realized that in his eyes she would always be
2nd Chorus
She was playing Cinderella
She was riding her first bike
Bouncing on the bed and looking for a pillow fight
Running through the sprinkler with a big popsicle grin
Dancing with her dad, looking up at him
In her eyes i'm Prince Charming
But to him i'm just some fella
riding in and stealing Cinderella
(Seen this played two separate ways in between Chorus and Bridge)
1) The beginning of the intro
OR
2)Em7 D/F G 2x (Watch the video to see how that part is played)
Bridge
He slapped me on the shoulder
Then he called her in the room
When she threw her arms around him
That's when I could see it too
Final Chorus
She was Playing Cinderella
Riding her first bike
Bouncing on the bed and looking for a pillow fight
Running through the sprinkler with a big popsicle grin
Dancing with her dad, looking up at him
If he gives me a hard time
I can't blame the fella
I'm the one who's stealing Cinderella
End with the Intro
