Many Moons Ago by Lawrence Clayton
Many Moons Ago
Tuning: E A D G B E
[Intro]
Fmaj9/11#5
[Verse 1]
DMaj7 Em7 F#m7 Em7
Many moons ago in a far off place
D C# Em7 A7
Lived a handsome prince with a gloomy face
F Ebadd9 D C D
For he did not have a bride
Dmaj7 Em7 F#m7 Em7
Oh, he sighed, "Alas" and he pined, "Alas"
D C# Em7 A7
But alas, the prince couldn't find a lass
F Ebadd9 D C D
Who would suit his mother's pride
[Chorus]
Eb Ab
For a princess is a delicate thing
Fm11 Eb Bbm6
Delicate and dainty as a dragonfly's wing
Ab Abm Eb Fm
You can recognize a lady by her elegant air
Eb Eb
But a genuine princess is exceedingly rare
[Verse 2]
Ebmaj7 Fm7 Gm7 Fm7
On a stormy night to the castle door
Eb D Fm7 Bb7
Came the lass the prince had been waiting for
Gb Eadd9 Eb Db Eb
"I'm a princess lost", quoth she
Ebmaj7 Fm7 Gm7 Fm7
But the queen was cool and remained aloof
Eb D Fm7 Bb7
And she said, "Perhaps, but we'll need some proof
Gb Eadd9 Eb Db Eb
I'll prepare a test and see
[Chorus]
E A
(Spoken) "I will test her thus", the old queen said
F#m11 E Bm6
"I'll put twenty downy mattresses upon her bed
A Am F#m
And beneath those twenty mattresses, I'll place one tiny pea
E E
If that pea disturbs her slumber then a true princess is she"
[Verse]
Emaj7 F#m7 G#m7 F#m7
(Sung) Now the bed was soft and extremely tall
E D# F#m7 B7
But the dainty lass didn't sleep at all
G Fadd9 E D E
And she told them so next day
Emaj7 F#m7 G#m7 F#m7
Said the queen, "My dear, if you felt that pea
E D# F#m7 B7
Then we've proof enough of your royalty
G Fadd9 E D E
Let the wedding music play"
Em11 A
And the people shouted quietly, "Hurray!"
[Chorus]
D G
For a princess is a delicate thing
Em11 D Am6
Delicate and dainty as a dragonfly's wing
G Gm D Em
You can recognize a lady by her elegant air
D D
But a genuine princess is exceedingly rare
