Intro
A#m7 A# G#
#1.
A#
Well, I remember it all very well lookin' back..
G#
it was the summer that I turned eighteen.
D#
We lived in a one-room, run down shack on the
F#
outskirts of New Orleans.
A#
We didn't have money for food or rent..to say
G#
the least we was hard-pressed..
D# F#
when momma spent every last penny we had to buy
me a dancin' dress.
#2.
A#
Momma washed and combed and curled my hair..
D# C#
then she painted my eyes and lips.
A#
Then I stepped into the satin dancin' dress..it had
D# A#
a split in the side, clean up to my hip.
A# D# C#
It was red, velvet-trimmed and it fit me good.
A#
And standin' back from the lookin' glass was a woman
D# A#
where a half-growed kid had stood.
CHORUS:
D#m G# A#m
Here's your one chance, Fancy, don't let me down.
C# D# A#m
Here's your one chance, Fancy, don't let me down.
C# D# D#m7
Lord, forgive me for what I do, but if you want out,
G#
well, it's up to you.
F# F A#
Now, don't let me down, your momma's gonna you move uptown.
#3.
A#
Momma dabbed a little bit of perfume on my neck and she
G#
kissed my cheek.
D#
Then I saw the tears welling up in her troubled eyes as
F#
she started to speak.
A#
She looked at our pitiful shack and then she looked at me
G# D#
and took a ragged breath..she said, your Pa's runned off
F#
and I'm real sick and the baby's gonna starve to death.
#4.
A# G#
She handed me a heart-shaped locket that said, to thine own
self be true.
D# F#
And I shivered as I watched a roach crawl across the toe of
my high-heeled shoe.
A# D
It sounded like somebody else was talkin' askin', Momma what
Gm
do I do?
D# F
She said, just be nice to the gentlemen, Fancy, they'll be nice
A#
to you.
CHORUS:
D#m G# A#m
Here's your one chance, Fancy, don't let me down.
C# D# A#m
Here's your one chance, Fancy, don't let me down.
C# D# D#m7
Lord, forgive me for what I do, but if you want out,
G#
well, it's up to you.
F# F A#
Get up, now, girl, you best be movin' uptown.
#5.
A# G#
Well, that was the last time I saw my momma, when I left that rickety
shack.
D# F#
The welfare people came and took the baby, momma died and I ain't
been back.
A# G#
But the wheels of fate had started to turn and for me there was
no other way out.
D# F#
It wasn't very long after, that I knew exactly what my momma was
talkin' 'bout.
#6.
A# G#
I knew what I had to do, but I made myself this solemn vow..
D# F#
that I was gonna to be a lady someday, though I didn't know when or how.
A# D
But I couldn't see spendin' the rest of my life with my head hung
Gm
down in shame.
D# F A#
I mighta been born just plain white trash but Fancy was my name.
CHORUS:
D#m G# A#m
Here's your one chance, Fancy, don't let me down.
C# D# A#m
Here's your one chance, Fancy, don't let me down.
#7.
A#
It wasn't long after that a benevolent man took me in off the streets.
G# F F#
One week later I was pourin' his tea in a five roomed penthouse suite.
Gm A#m
I've charmed a king, a congressman and an occasional aristocrat.
G# A#
And I got me a Georgia mansion and a New York townhouse flat..
C# D# A#
now, I ain't done bad.
#8.
A# D#
Now, in this world there's a lot of self-righteous hypocrites who call
A#
me bad.
A# D# A#
They criticize momma for turning me out, no matter how little we had.
A# D Gm
But I haven't had to worry 'bout nothin', now for nigh on fifteen years.
D# F
But I can still hear the desperation in my poor momma's voice ringin' in
A#
my ears.
CHORUS:
D#m G# A#m
Here's your one chance, Fancy, don't let me down.
C# D# A#m
Here's your one chance, Fancy, don't let me down.
C# D# D#m7
Lord, forgive me for what I do, but if you want out,
G#
well, it's up to you.
F# F A#
Now, don't let me down, your momma's gonna help you move uptown.
(And I guess she did.)
