C  G  Am  G  F  C  F  C

[Verse 1]
   F                 C
I meant to call her name
   F                 C
I meant to take her hand
    F               C        G    F
I meant to be the same and understand
                 C      F          C
Just what was happening   in the evening
               F     G           C
Between the princess   and the prince

[Verse 2]
    F                C
I can't be bothered now
    F                 C
And I cannot eat or drink
   F              C     G        F
I can't remember how I used to think
              C               F                C
What was the song she sang before the morning rang
                F     G          C
Bringing the princess   to the prince

[Chorus]
 G        G7
It's a ringing crystal way

She has about her in my day
              C G  Am    G       F
But she's a laugh-ing dappled shadow
    C G  Am    G      F           C
A laugh-ing dappled shadow in my night

[Verse 3]
   F                  C
If I could hear her voice
   F                C
If I could see her face
   F                  C           G       F
If I could have my choice I'd be in the place
                 C   F                 C
Where I saw her last   on the evening past
           F    G            C
Of the princess    and the prince

[Chorus]
G        G7
It's a ringing crystal way

She has about her in the day
               C G Am    G       F
But she's a laughing dappled shadow
    C  G Am    G      F           C
a laughing dappled shadow in my night

[Verse 3]
   F                 C
I meant to call her name
   F                 C
I meant to take her hand
    F               C        G    F
I meant to be the same and understand
                 C      F          C
Just what was happening   in the evening
               F     G           C
Between the princess   and the prince
