Storybook Love by Mark Knopfler - Guitar Chords

<< Back to Mark Knopfler Song List
Version 1
            There is already a correct tab of this song but the chords for the chorus and
 the missing lyrics make it a bit inconvenient for just playing along with
 guitar, I think. So here's just the normal chords with all the lyrics for
 simple guitar playalong.

EDIT: It should be noted that the song - altough appearing on the Mark Knopfler soundtrack - was actually
composed and performed by Willy DeVille. Unfortunately I can't edit the artist information afterwards.


[Verse]
D                  G          D
Come my love, I'll tell you a tale,
D                     A7          D
Of a boy and girl, and their Love Story.
D                     G     D
And how he loved her, oh so much,
D                      A7     D
And all the charms she did possess.

D                        G      D
Now this did happen once upon a time,
D                    A7    D
When things were not so complex.
D                         G          D
And how he worshipped the ground she walked,
D                                  A7     D
And when he looked in her eyes, he became obsessed.


[Chorus]
G                 C         G
My love is like a storybook story,
G                       D          G
But it's as real as the feelings I feel.
G                 C         G
My love is like a storybook story,
D                       A7         D
But it's as real as the feelings I feel.
D                       A          D
But it's as real as the feelings I feel.


[Verse]
D                               G         D
This love was stronger than the powers so dark
D                              A7 D
A prince could have within his keeping
D                       G       D
His spells to weave and steal a heart
D                          A7  D
Within her breast but only sleeping


[Chorus]
G                 C         G
My love is like a storybook story,
G                       D          G
But it's as real as the feelings I feel.
G                 C         G
My love is like a storybook story,
D                       A7         D
But it's as real as the feelings I feel.
D                       A          D
But it's as real as the feelings I feel.


[Bridge]
          D                         G     D
He said, "Don't you know I love you oh so much
D                       A7           D
And lay my heart at the foot of your dress?"
           D                   G         D
She said, "Don't you know that storybook loves
D                   A7 D
Always have a happy ending?"
D                           G           D
Then he swooped her up just like in the books
D                        A7   D
And on his stallion they rode away


[Chorus]
G                 C         G
My love is like a storybook story,
G                       D          G
But it's as real as the feelings I feel.
G                 C         G
My love is like a storybook story,
D                       A7         D
But it's as real as the feelings I feel.
D                       A          D
But it's as real as the feelings I feel.
