Intro: C F C F C G C
With her Cdrop-dead looks and her lFittle-girl charm
CEverybody thought she'd go Gfar
And at C20 years old she was rFich as could be
And a wCorld-famed HoGllywood stCar.
With the big parts coming and the sFweethearts, too,
CLife was a hell of a rGide
But her sCtar soon fell and her bFody got old
So she tCook a lot of piGlls and diCed.
She tCook a lot of Fpills and Cdied
She Ctook a lot of Fpills and Cdied
her sCtar soon fell and her bFody got old
So she tCook a lot of piGlls and diCed.
While the traffic crawled by in the street outside
She was sitting in her kitchenette
Listening to the scuttle of the rats in the wall
And staring at her TV set.
She once might have been too proud to be found
in a hovel on the lower East Side
But nothing in the world seemed to matter much now
So she took a lot of pills and died.
Now she hasn't been seen on the silver screen
And she never may be again
But every once in a while at the far end of the dial
You can see her how she was back then.
In a soft close-up, with her hair backlit,
She seemed to glow inside
Yeah, but something went wrong, 'cause forty years on
She took a lot of pills and died.
