Cinderella Firefall
Words and music by Larry Burnett
(from the album "FireFall")
(Note: This song is played in a modal D tuning. Both the high and low E strings are
down to D. The Dm9 is played like an Am, with the middle finger of the left hand picked up,
the G string open. G is a different form also, because of the modal tuning. Play G by
the fifth fret on both the low D and A strings.)
[D]Last December [Dm9]I met a girl, [Fmaj7]she took a likinâ?? t[C]o me
Said she loved me, [Am7]but she didnâ??t know th[D]e meaninâ?? of the word
