Capo: 4(or go up four half steps, obviously)
[Em7] [Bm7]
[Em]Sugarplum fairies on parade
[D]The smiling dolls wield the sharpest blade
(ch)Em7/B(/ch)
Candyfloss pink the sequins whirl
[D/A]Beneath a serpent ready to uncurl
[Em7]
[Em]A dealer playing with my state of mind
[D]Roulette wheel the colors were entwined
(ch)Em7/B(/ch)
Black and white Russians were prepared
[D/A]She staked her claim to the lions share

[Em7]
[G]Dressed in velvet in the [Am]limelight
[D]She beckoned me from marble [G]stairs
[G]Long ago with all the [Am7]dreamers
[D]I fell into her emerald [G]spell
A thousand silver songs that filled the air
Rosary the worry beads of care
I should have understood
The queen of hearts
Played to win right from the start
Dressed in velvet in the limelight
She beckoned me from marble stairs
Long ago with all the dreamers
I fell into her emerald spell
Instrumental: Em7
The dice were loaded, knew I was ensnared
Fingers turned to talons in my hair
A rusted door inside a golden cage
A broken chord, a bird that flew away
Dressed in velvet in the limelight
She beckoned me from marble stairs
Long ago with all the dreamers
I fell into her emerald spell
Guitar Instrumental: E5, D5, then F#5, G#5 fade on F#
Repeat Intro, end on Em
