GDressed in velvet in the Amlimelight
DShe beckoned me from marble Gstairs
GLong ago with all the Am7dreamers
DI fell into her emerald Gspell
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
