Tom: C [Intro] C Em F Fm C Em A long time ago, in a story so old F Fm There was a beauty and and a beast, or so I've been told C Em They were these two strangers, two lonely souls F Fm But it's not what you think, no, here's how it goes C Em Lets start with the Beast, he was ugly and scary F Fm Pathetic and poor, and horribly hairy C Em The outside was rough, but once he smiled F Fm You could see that he had a heart of gold inside C Em The Beast loved a Beauty, this pretty little thing F Fm She was the fairest of them all, and she could dance and sing C Em But unlike the beast whose love shined the best F Fm She loved herself, never cared for the rest C Em Oh, La Belle et la bête (the beauty and the beast) F Fm Quelle tragédie (what a tragedy) C Em Elle est comme le jour (she is like the day) F Fm Il est comme la nuit (he is like the night) C Em Il est amoureux (he is in love) F Fm Elle ne se soucie pas (she doesn't care) C Em F Vont-ils mourir tout seule? (Will they die alone?) Fm C On verra (We'll see) C Em One day the beast found the Beauty Perfection F Fm Sitting by the lake making love to her reflection C Em The Beast then decided that it was the time F Fm To tell the pretty Beauty of his feelings inside C Em He stepped out from the shades with a flower in hand F Fm Said bravely: My lady, the fairest in this land C Em I might not be a prince, but my heart beats for you! F Fm Oh the Beauty just laughed, so cold, so cruel C Em "You smelly old fat hairy pig", she said F Fm "You thought I could love you? I'd rather be dead!" C Em Still laughing she turned and danced to her home F Fm Leaving the Beast, heart-broken, alone C Em Oh, La Belle et la bête (the beauty and the beast) F Fm Quelle tragédie (what a tragedy) C Em Elle est comme le jour (she is like the day) F Fm Il est comme la nuit (he is like the night) C Em Il est amoureux (he is in love) F Fm Mais elle sien fout? (but does she give a damn?) C Em F Qui sera content aprés tout? (What will be told after all?) Fm C On verra (We'll see) C Em While the Beauty lives all by herself still today F Fm The Beast learned his lesson and changed his ways C Em He found that true beauty cannot be seen F Fm C F Fm And that things are most likely not what they seem
