D                       G 
I fell into her emerald 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
