C7Nellie Fwith the Gbig old fashioned Ceyes C C+ Am Who won the heart of a crowd tore apart, took a bow
C7Nellie Fthere's a Gdifferent world Cbackstage
(Chorus:)
BbI see the Fmaj7flood lights burning BbI hear the Fmaj7band play on
BbNow AmNel---Gmlie Ftakes Fher Cbow
C C+ Am She said she really could not stay
C7Nellie Fshe had a Gbrand new play to Cplay C C+ Am C7 And so she paints her face and smiles
FAnd she'll be Gsome one else in a Cwhile (Chorus)
C C+ Just another lonely girl who could not face a broken world
AmAnd so she acts out all her dreams C7and wishes that's how it had been
FBut when the audience is near GIt seems as though she doesn't seem to Ccare
C C+ Nellie just sent me a line to tell me she was doing fine
AmShe got the lead and on Brodway C7And now they're digging her today
FAnd as she turns the final page GLiving some one's life upon the Cstage
(Chorus)
