Nellie Takes Her Bow

C                            C+  
Who thanked the Lord for the 
                  Am
clothes that she wore and mended

C7     F        G                
Nellie with the big old fashioned 
 C
eyes

C                      C+        
Who won the heart of a crowd tore
        Am
 apart, took a bow

C7     F         G               
Nellie there's a different world 
C
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               
Nellie she had a brand new play to 
  C
play

C          C+                  
And so she paints her face and 
Am       C7
smiles

F             G                  
And she'll be some one else in a 
C
while

(Chorus)

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                                 
It seems as though she doesn't 
     C
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                             
Living some one's life upon the 
  C
stage
