_ [E] _ _ _ _ _ _ [A] _
_ [E] _ _ _ _ _ He stands tall _ _ in his _ _ handmaiden boots _ [B] Pretty little _ girls _ _ all around _ _ _ _
Black was the shade _ _ of his nudist suit
_ _ And when [C#m] he sang [B] there was not [A] a sound _ _ _ _ _
[E] From state _ line to Mobile _ [D] he [B] entertained [E] the crowd
_ [C#m] _ [E] _ Everybody _ there knew his _ name _ _
His [D] _ climb [B] had started [D] but the [C#m] road [E] gets hard
[D] When you're _ [F#] closing in [B] on _ _ _ fame _
[E] Bright _ _ _ _ _ _
[A] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ lights _ shine and the crowd goes _ wild _
The show [B] won't start _ _ till y'all [E] calm down
_ _ One pretty little _ _ _ girl stands all _ alone
_ And when [C#m] she cried [B] there was [A] not a sound _ _ _ _
[E] For just three days in New Orleans [D] she never [Bm] left his [E] side
_ That girl became a woman with a very first _ name _ _ _
But through her [B] only lover _ [D] she was just like [C#] all the [E] others
Till she stood there with [F#] that gun in [B] her hand
_ _ A [E] shot rang out and the crowd goes wild
_ A shot rang out _ and the crowd goes wild _ _ _ _
