Cin der (G)el la, Cin der el la, all I hear is Cin der el la, from the mo ment that I (Abdim)get up, till (Am)shades of night are (D)fall ing.

There (Am)is n’t an y (D)let up, I (Am)hear them call ing, (D)call ing: “Go (C)up and do the at tic and go (G)down and do the cel lar, you can do them both (D)to geth er, Cin der (G)el la.”

How (G)love ly it would (Eb7)be

if I could (G)live my fan ta (Eb7)sy.

But in the (G)mid dle of my (A7)dream ing

they’re (Eb7)scream ing

at (D7)me.

Cin der (G)el la.”
