Intro
Bm7 B A
#1.
B
Well, I remember it all very well lookin' back..
A
it was the summer that I turned eighteen.
E
We lived in a one-room, run down shack on the
G
outskirts of New Orleans.
B
We didn't have money for food or rent..to say
A
the least we was hard-pressed..
E G
when momma spent every last penny we had to buy
me a dancin' dress.
#2.
B
Momma washed and combed and curled my hair..
E D
then she painted my eyes and lips.
B
Then I stepped into the satin dancin' dress..it had
E B
a split in the side, clean up to my hip.
B E D
It was red, velvet-trimmed and it fit me good.
B
And standin' back from the lookin' glass was a woman
E B
where a half-growed kid had stood.
CHORUS:
Em A Bm
Here's your one chance, Fancy, don't let me down.
D E Bm
Here's your one chance, Fancy, don't let me down.
D E Em7
Lord, forgive me for what I do, but if you want out,
A
well, it's up to you.
G F# B
Now, don't let me down, your momma's gonna you move uptown.
#3.
B
Momma dabbed a little bit of perfume on my neck and she
A
kissed my cheek.
E
Then I saw the tears welling up in her troubled eyes as
G
she started to speak.
B
She looked at our pitiful shack and then she looked at me
A E
and took a ragged breath..she said, your Pa's runned off
G
and I'm real sick and the baby's gonna starve to death.
#4.
B A
She handed me a heart-shaped locket that said, to thine own
self be true.
E G
And I shivered as I watched a roach crawl across the toe of
my high-heeled shoe.
B Eb
It sounded like somebody else was talkin' askin', Momma what
Abm
do I do?
E F#
She said, just be nice to the gentlemen, Fancy, they'll be nice
B
to you.
CHORUS:
Em A Bm
Here's your one chance, Fancy, don't let me down.
D E Bm
Here's your one chance, Fancy, don't let me down.
D E Em7
Lord, forgive me for what I do, but if you want out,
A
well, it's up to you.
G F# B
Get up, now, girl, you best be movin' uptown.
#5.
B A
Well, that was the last time I saw my momma, when I left that rickety
shack.
E G
The welfare people came and took the baby, momma died and I ain't
been back.
B A
But the wheels of fate had started to turn and for me there was
no other way out.
E G
It wasn't very long after, that I knew exactly what my momma was
talkin' 'bout.
#6.
B A
I knew what I had to do, but I made myself this solemn vow..
E G
that I was gonna to be a lady someday, though I didn't know when or how.
B Eb
But I couldn't see spendin' the rest of my life with my head hung
Abm
down in shame.
E F# B
I mighta been born just plain white trash but Fancy was my name.
CHORUS:
Em A Bm
Here's your one chance, Fancy, don't let me down.
D E Bm
Here's your one chance, Fancy, don't let me down.
#7.
B
It wasn't long after that a benevolent man took me in off the streets.
A F# G
One week later I was pourin' his tea in a five roomed penthouse suite.
Abm Bm
I've charmed a king, a congressman and an occasional aristocrat.
A B
And I got me a Georgia mansion and a New York townhouse flat..
D E B
now, I ain't done bad.
#8.
B E
Now, in this world there's a lot of self-righteous hypocrites who call
B
me bad.
B E B
They criticize momma for turning me out, no matter how little we had.
B Eb Abm
But I haven't had to worry 'bout nothin', now for nigh on fifteen years.
E F#
But I can still hear the desperation in my poor momma's voice ringin' in
B
my ears.
CHORUS:
Em A Bm
Here's your one chance, Fancy, don't let me down.
D E Bm
Here's your one chance, Fancy, don't let me down.
D E Em7
Lord, forgive me for what I do, but if you want out,
A
well, it's up to you.
G F# B
Now, don't let me down, your momma's gonna help you move uptown.
(And I guess she did.)
