[N] _ _ _ _ [Am] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ I really need this [D] job.
Not more than I do, believe me.
[C] Hi, I'm Sheila.
What's your name?
Bebe.
[F] And this is Maggie.
[G] Hi Maggie.
Hi.
Gosh, [A] there's a lot of people here.
[G] Yeah, it's a cattle call.
But you'll get the job for sure, Maggie.
You're so [D] pretty.
[G] Believe me, looks are overrated.
_ [Dm] It's just a different [D] set of problems.
_ Okay, ladies, line up.
[Bb] _
[Dm] We'll start with you.
You, [Db] number 24.
_ [G]
My name is Sheila.
What do you [Fm] want to know?
_ Why don't you tell [Am] me why you're in this business?
[Eb] _ I wanted [G] to be a ballet dancer.
What else?
The light, by the way, is a [D] very funny color.
[Eb] Do you have anything softer?
Don't worry about the light.
It's very harsh.
So tell me.
What?
Do you always come on like this?
No, sometimes I'm aggressive.
Will you just _ bring it down?
[C] Bring what down?
[Gb] Your attitude, miss.
It's Sheila. _
Okay, [Dm] Sheila.
Why don't [G] you tell me about your parents?
My parents?
Yeah.
Well, my mother was a [E] ballerina until my father made her quit.
_ [G] Really?
[E] Really.
Tell me more.
_ Tell you more? _ _
_ _ _ _ Daddy always thought that he married beneath him.
That's what he said, that's what he said.
When he proposed, he informed my mother he was probably our very last chance.
_ And though [Am] she was 22, though she was 22, though [Dm] she was _ [A] 22,
_ _ _ _ she [D] married _ him. _ _ _ _
[Am] Life with my dad was never a picnic, more like [G] a come as you are.
_ [F] When I was five, I remember my mother dug [G] earrings out of the car.
[Fm] I knew that they weren't hers, but it wasn't [Gm] something you'd want to discuss. _
He [F] wasn't warm.
_ [E] Well, not to [Dm] her.
_ _ Well, [Am] not to us.
_ Come to think of it. _ _
[B] But everything _ was [E]
beautiful [B] _ at the ballet. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ Graceful men [E] lift lovely _ [B] girls in _ white.
_ _ _ _ Yes, everything [Bm] _ [E] was _ beautiful at [G] the ballet. _ _ _ _
_ [Db] _ I was [Gb] happy _ [Ebm] at the [E] ballet. _ _
And that's when I started [Bm] class.
Up a steep and very narrow _ _ [Gbm] _ stairway,
[G] to the voice like a [Gb] _ metronome.
_ _ [Bm] Up a steep and very narrow _
_ [Gbm] stairway.
[G] It wasn't paradise.
It [D] wasn't paradise.
[Em] It wasn't paradise, but [Bm] it was home.
Okay, number 18.
I'm Beebe, sir.
And what's your story? _
I don't know what you mean.
_ _ Okay. _
On the subject of mothers, what about yours? _
My mother?
[Am] Yes, yours. _ _
_ She lied to me.
She lied to you?
_ Mother always said I'd be very attractive when I grew up.
[Em] When I grew up.
Different, she said, with [Am] a special something and a very, very [A] personal _ _ flair.
_ _ [Dm]
Though I was eight or nine.
[Bb] Though I was eight or [Gm] nine.
Though I was eight or [A] nine.
_ I [D] hated her. _
_ _ _ Now, different [Am] is nice, but it sure isn't pretty.
[G] Pretty is what it's about.
_ I [C] never met anyone who was different.
Who couldn't figure that out?
_ [F] So beautiful, _ I'd never live [Am] to see.
_ _ _ But it was clear.
_ [Bb] If not to [F] her, _ [E] well then [A] to me. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [D] _ _ Everyone _ is beautiful at the ballet.
_ _ _ _ [A] _ _
_ [D] Every prince has got to have his _ swan. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Dm] _ Everyone _ [G] is beautiful [F] at the ballet.
_ [Bb] _ _ _ _ _
[D] I was pretty _ at the _ ballet.
_ _ [Dm] _ _
_ _ _ _ Up a steep and very narrow [C] _ stairway.
_ [Bb] To the voice like a _ _ [D] metronome. _
[Dm] Up a steep and very narrow [Am] stairway.
_ [Bb] _ It wasn't [Am] paradise.
It wasn't paradise.
[Gm] It wasn't paradise.
_ [A] But it [D] was home.
All right, number six.
Number six, that's me, Maggie.
_ Can [Gm] I tell you about my [D] parents?
Go ahead.
I [G] _ don't know what they were for or against, [Am] really.
Except each other.
I mean, [G] I was born to save [Em] their marriage,
but [F] when my father [G] came to pick up my mother from the hospital,
he [C] said, I [G] thought this was going to help, but _ I guess not. _
_ [Gm] Anyway, I did have [Am] a fantastic fantasy life.
I [Eb] used to dance around the living room with my arms up like this.
My fantasy [Db] was, it was an Indian chief,
and he'd say to [Ab] me, Maggie, do you want to dance?
[Db] And I'd say, Daddy, I would love [Ab] to dance.
[Dbm] _ _ But it was clear [Gb] _ when he proposed
[Dbm] _
that I was born [Ab] to help their [Dbm] marriage and when.
That's what he [Gb] said.
That's what she said.
[Ab] I used to dance around the living _ [Dbm] room. _ _
It wasn't warm, not to [A] her.
_ It was an Indian [Eb] chief, and he said, _ Maggie,
[Db] do you want to [Ab] dance?
And I said, Daddy, _
[Db] I _ would love [D] to. _
_ Everything was [G] _ beautiful [D] at the ballet. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ Raise your _ arms and _ someone's _ always _ _ _ _ there.
[Dm] _ _ _
_ _ _ Everything [G] was _ beautiful [Bb] at the ballet. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Em] _ _ _ [Gm] _ _ At [A] the ballet. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [A] _ _ _ [D] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Dm] Yes, everything _ [G] was beautiful at the [Bb] ballet. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [D] I _ was _ happy _ [Bb] _
_ [Gb] at _ [D] _ _ _ _
_ _ [Am] _ _ [D] _ the [Gb] _
_ _ [Dm] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [G] ballet.
[Bb] _ _ [C] _
_ _ God, I hope I get this job.
_ Yeah, me too.
What about me?
_ Okay, ladies, we'll let you know. _
Next. _ _ _ _ _ _
