Nellie Takes Her Bow

(início)

C                            C+                    Am
Who thanked the Lord for the clothes that she wore and mended
C7     F        G                 C
Nellie with the big old fashioned eyes
C                      C+                Am
Who won the heart of a crowd tore apart, took a bow
C7     F         G               C
Nellie there's a different world backstage
(Chorus:)
Bb        Fmaj7
I see the flood lights burning
Bb         Fmaj7
I hear the band play on
Bb  Am    Gm  F     F   C
Now Nel---lie takes her bow
C            C+               Am
She said she really could not stay
C7     F         G                 C
Nellie she had a brand new play to play
C          C+                  Am       C7
And so she paints her face and smiles
F             G                  C
And she'll be some one else in a while
(Chorus)
C                            C+
Just another lonely girl who could not face a broken world
Am
And so she acts out all her dreams
C7
and wishes that's how it had been
F
But when the audience is near
G                                      C
It seems as though she doesn't seem to care
C                             C+
Nellie just sent me a line to tell me she was doing fine
Am
She got the lead and on Brodway
C7
And now they're digging her today
F
And as she turns the final page
G                               C
Living some one's life upon the stage
