Intro
Dm7 D C
#1.
D
Well, I remember it all very well lookin' back..
C
it was the summer that I turned eighteen.
G
We lived in a one-room, run down shack on the
A#
outskirts of New Orleans.
D
We didn't have money for food or rent..to say
C
the least we was hard-pressed..
G A#
when momma spent every last penny we had to buy
me a dancin' dress.
#2.
D
Momma washed and combed and curled my hair..
G F
then she painted my eyes and lips.
D
Then I stepped into the satin dancin' dress..it had
G D
a split in the side, clean up to my hip.
D G F
It was red, velvet-trimmed and it fit me good.
D
And standin' back from the lookin' glass was a woman
G D
where a half-growed kid had stood.
CHORUS:
Gm C Dm
Here's your one chance, Fancy, don't let me down.
F G Dm
Here's your one chance, Fancy, don't let me down.
F G Gm7
Lord, forgive me for what I do, but if you want out,
C
well, it's up to you.
A# A D
Now, don't let me down, your momma's gonna you move uptown.
#3.
D
Momma dabbed a little bit of perfume on my neck and she
C
kissed my cheek.
G
Then I saw the tears welling up in her troubled eyes as
A#
she started to speak.
D
She looked at our pitiful shack and then she looked at me
C G
and took a ragged breath..she said, your Pa's runned off
A#
and I'm real sick and the baby's gonna starve to death.
#4.
D C
She handed me a heart-shaped locket that said, to thine own
self be true.
G A#
And I shivered as I watched a roach crawl across the toe of
my high-heeled shoe.
D Gb
It sounded like somebody else was talkin' askin', Momma what
Cbm
do I do?
G A
She said, just be nice to the gentlemen, Fancy, they'll be nice
D
to you.
CHORUS:
Gm C Dm
Here's your one chance, Fancy, don't let me down.
F G Dm
Here's your one chance, Fancy, don't let me down.
F G Gm7
Lord, forgive me for what I do, but if you want out,
C
well, it's up to you.
A# A D
Get up, now, girl, you best be movin' uptown.
#5.
D C
Well, that was the last time I saw my momma, when I left that rickety
shack.
G A#
The welfare people came and took the baby, momma died and I ain't
been back.
D C
But the wheels of fate had started to turn and for me there was
no other way out.
G A#
It wasn't very long after, that I knew exactly what my momma was
talkin' 'bout.
#6.
D C
I knew what I had to do, but I made myself this solemn vow..
G A#
that I was gonna to be a lady someday, though I didn't know when or how.
D Gb
But I couldn't see spendin' the rest of my life with my head hung
Cbm
down in shame.
G A D
I mighta been born just plain white trash but Fancy was my name.
CHORUS:
Gm C Dm
Here's your one chance, Fancy, don't let me down.
F G Dm
Here's your one chance, Fancy, don't let me down.
#7.
D
It wasn't long after that a benevolent man took me in off the streets.
C A A#
One week later I was pourin' his tea in a five roomed penthouse suite.
Cbm Dm
I've charmed a king, a congressman and an occasional aristocrat.
C D
And I got me a Georgia mansion and a New York townhouse flat..
F G D
now, I ain't done bad.
#8.
D G
Now, in this world there's a lot of self-righteous hypocrites who call
D
me bad.
D G D
They criticize momma for turning me out, no matter how little we had.
D Gb Cbm
But I haven't had to worry 'bout nothin', now for nigh on fifteen years.
G A
But I can still hear the desperation in my poor momma's voice ringin' in
D
my ears.
CHORUS:
Gm C Dm
Here's your one chance, Fancy, don't let me down.
F G Dm
Here's your one chance, Fancy, don't let me down.
F G Gm7
Lord, forgive me for what I do, but if you want out,
C
well, it's up to you.
A# A D
Now, don't let me down, your momma's gonna help you move uptown.
(And I guess she did.)
