<< Back to Mark Knopfler Song List
Version 1There 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.
