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
Припев
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
Припев
