Testo

[Intro]
| E5 | G |

[Verse 1]
A5
E5    E5
  I remember it all very well looking back
           D
It was the summer I turned eighteen
   A
We lived in a oneroom, rundown shack
       C
On the outskirts of New Orleans
   E5
We didn't have money for food or rent
           D
To say the least, we were hard pressed
     A
Then Mama spent every last penny we had
       C
To buy me a dancing dress
Well,
     E5
Mama washed and combed and curled my hair
         A                       E5
Then she painted my eyes and lips
Then I stepped into a satin dancing dress
           A                         E5
That had a split on the side clean up  to my hip
                      A                      E5
It was red velvet trim and it had fit me good
Well,
standing back from the looking glass
                            A                 E5
There stood a woman where a halfgrown kid had stood

[Chorus]
          C/G
She said, "Here's your one chance,
   D/A                   E5
Fancy, don't let me down"
          G                           A
She said, "Here's your one chance, Fancy,
                  E5
don't let me down"

[Verse 2]
     E5                                       D
Mama dabbed a little bit of perfume on my neck
Then she kissed my cheek
           A/C#                                         C
And then I saw the tears welling up in her troubled eyes
As she started to speak
    E5
She looked at our pitiful shack
                         D
And then she looked at me and took a ragged breath
She said,
      A/C#
"Your Pa's runned off and I'm real sick
          C
And the baby's gonna starve to death"
    E5
She handed me a heartshaped locket that said
         D
"To thine own self be true"
      A/C#
And I shivered as I watched a roach crawl across
       C
The toe of my highheeled shoe
   E5
It sounded like somebody else that was talking
       G#7                  C#m
Asking Mama, "What do I do?"
          A
She said, "Just be nice to the gentlemen,
Fancy
       B               E5
They'll be nice to you"

[Chorus]
          C/G
She said, "Here's your one chance,
   D/A                  E5
Fancy, don't let me down
G                          A
Here's your one chance, Fancy,
                 E5
don't let me down
         G                  A
Lord, forgive me for what I do
           C/G
But if you want out, well,
     D/A
it's up to you
          C
Now don't let me down now
     B7                      E5
Your Mama's gonna move you uptown"

[Verse 3]
      E5
Well, that was the last time I saw my Ma
            D
The night I left that rickety shack
    A/C#
The welfare people came and took the baby
     C
Mama died and I ain't been back
        E5
But the wheels of fate had started to turn
        D
And for me there was no way out
   A/C#
It wasn't very long until I knew exactly
        C
What my Mama'd been talking about
  E5                                 D
I knew what I had to do and I made myself this solemn vow
     A/C#
That I   was gonna be a lady someday
         C
Though I didn't know when or how
      E5
But I couldn't see spending the rest of my life
            G#7             C#m
With my head   hung down in shame
           A
You know I might've been born just plain white trash
    B            E5
But Fancy was my name

[Chorus]
          C/G
She said, "Here's your one chance,
   D/A                   E5
Fancy, don't let me down"
          G                           A
She said, "Here's your one chance, Fancy,
         E5
don't let  me down"

[Verse 4]
   E5
It wasn't long after a benevolent man
Took me in off the streets
And one week later I was pouring his tea
In a fiveroom hotel suite
I charmed a king, congressman
And an occasional aristocrat
Then I got me a Georgia mansion
And an elegant New York townhouse flat
                 Em7
And I ain't done bad

[Bridge]
G A Em7    E5
       Now in this world

[Verse 5]
                               A                          E5
There's a lot of selfrighteous hypocrites that call me bad
They criticize Mama for turning me out
   A                       E5
No matter how little we had
But though I ain't had to worry about nothing
    G#7             C#m
For nigh on fifteen years
            A
Well, I can still hear the desperation
                  B                       E5
In my poor Mama's voice ringing in my ears

[Chorus]
C/G
"Here's your one chance,
   D/A                  E5
Fancy, don't let me down
    G                          A
Oh, here's your one chance, Fancy,
                 E5
don't let me down
         G                  A
Lord, forgive me for what I do
           C/G
But if you want out, well,
     D/A
it's up to you
          C
Now don't let me down, hon'
     B7                      E5
Your Mama's gonna move you uptown"
Oh, and I guess she did
