DO DO+ LAm
Who thanked the Lord for the clothes that she wore and mended
DO7 FA SOL DO
Nellie with the big old fashioned eyes
DO DO+ LAm
Who won the heart of a crowd tore apart, took a bow
DO7 FA SOL DO
Nellie there's a different world backstage
(Chorus )
SIb FAmaj7
I see the flood lights burning
SIb FAmaj7
I hear the band play on
SIb LAm SOLm FA FA DO
Now Nel---lie takes her bow
DO DO+ LAm
She said she really could not stay
DO7 FA SOL DO
Nellie she had a brand new play to play
DO DO+ LAm DO7
And so she paints her face and smiles
FA SOL DO
And she'll be some one else in a while
(Chorus)
DO DO+
Just another lonely girl who could not face a broken world
LAm
And so she acts out all her dreams
DO7
and wishes that's how it had been
FA
But when the audience is near
SOL DO
It seems as though she doesn't seem to care
DO DO+
Nellie just sent me a line to tell me she was doing fine
LAm
She got the lead and on Brodway
DO7
And now they're digging her today
FA
And as she turns the final page
SOL DO
Living some one's life upon the stage
Chorus
