Em D Am Em
One day the sun, too tired to shine
Em D Am Em
Slept in the deep, green sombre lake
Em D Am Em
And in the darkness, the world did ail
Em D Am Em
Until she came, for all our sake.
Chorus
G D
Oh that girl with pearls in her hair
Am Em
Is she real or just made of air
G D
Life went on as before
Am Em
Man would live once more...
The dawn did break and she went home
Back to the deep, dark seas alone
She lives in a world of fairy tales
Her lovely hair and only pearls.
Chorus
Oh that girl with pearls in her hair
Is she real or just made of air
Long since she's been asleep
In the ocean deep.
And when you feel lonely and blue
A little star will fall on you
White child in pearls your way will show
As did white stones long years ago.
Chorus
Oh that girl with pearls in her hair
Is she real or just made of air
I know she'll wait for me
She will set me free.
