[Verse 1]
A
The sun is up for me
D C A
But I know a beauty that shines it out
A
I can hardly see
C G A
Oh when she is up letting her veil down
A
But it could never be
D C A
I’m just a shepherd hiding from the hounds
A
She’s a fantasy
C G A
With flowers and bows, pretty coats and a silver crown
[Instrumental]

[Verse 2]
A
Every day goes by
D C A
The sun and the moon making out in the sky
A
We keep each other warm
C G A
Snuggling up in the dark, Mr. Sheep and I
A
Join my favorite dream
D C
She sings me lullabies all through the night
A
And wakes me with a kiss
C G
Sweet taste of apples and wild strawberries
C D
I’m in love with her majesty
C
Yeah!
[Chorus]
Am C
So whatcha gonna do? (ooh!)
D Am
I wanna build the dream for two
Am
So what’s it gonna be?
C D Am
I’m jumpin’ up and down, but she can’t see
Am
I think you got a chance
C D
Just move on over and ask her to dance!
C* D*
I got silly feet and a lousy beat so how on earth could I make her want me?
[Instrumental]
A7 A A7 A A7 A Em Em D C A
[Verse 3]
A
I think it’s gonna rain today
D C A
And I’m here on one hill and she’s on the other
A
The clouds are in my way
C
As the sky opens up
D A
Letting her veil down
A
Covering my queen
D C A
Well, I’m still just a shepherd, so why should I bother?
A
The valley in between
C G
Gets deeper and deeper as time passes by
C D*
Gonna love her til I die
D*
So why don’t I
D D*
Just make like a prince and give it a try
[Chorus]
Am
So what’s it gonna be?
C D Am
I could slingshot myself like a bumblebee
Am
So watcha gonna do?
C D Am
Use Mr. Sheep as a parachute
Am
On the count of three
C D
I’m off to claim my fantasy
C*
In my best clothes
C*
buttoned up with a rose
D*
I’m on my way to make you love me
[Instrumental]

In your castle made of sand

Watch your head, my love, I’m coming over
