Took A Lot Of Pills Died

A D A D A E A

         A                        D
With her drop-dead looks and her little-girl charm
A                          E
Everybody thought she'd go far
       A                     D
And at 20 years old she was rich as could be
       A            E         A
And a world-famed Hollywood star.
         A                        D
With the big parts coming and the sweethearts, too
A                     E
Life was a hell of a ride
         A                      D
But her star soon fell and her body got old
        A            E         A
So she took a lot of pills and died.

     A            D         A
She took a lot of pills and died
    A             D         A
She took a lot of pills and died
     A                      D
her star soon fell and her body got old
        A              E         A
So she took a lot of pills and died.

          A                         D
While the traffic crawled by in the street outside
        A                     E
She was sitting in her kitchenette
A                               D
Listening to the scuttle of the rats in the wall
    A              E  A
And staring at her TV set.
A                            D
She once might have been too proud to be found
     A                       E
in a hovel on the lower East Side
    A                              D
But nothing in the world seemed to matter much now
       A             E         A
So she took a lot of pills and died.

     A            D         A
She took a lot of pills and died
    A             D         A
She took a lot of pills and died
     A                      D
her star soon fell and her body got old
        A              E         A
So she took a lot of pills and died.

        A                D
Now she hasn't been seen on the silver screen
        A               E
And she never may be again
          A                      D
But every once in a while at the far end of the dial
        A               E        A
You can see her how she was back then.
     A                                D
In a soft close-up, with her hair backlit,
    A                  E
She seemed to glow inside
          A                            D
Yeah, but something went wrong, 'cause forty years on
    A             E         A
She took a lot of pills and died.

     A            D         A
She took a lot of pills and died
    A             D         A
She took a lot of pills and died
     A                      D
her star soon fell and her body got old
        A              E         A
So she took a lot of pills and died.
