[G] Mary Provis did [C] not look [D] her best, [G]
the day the cops bust [C] into her [D] lonely nest, [G] in that cheap [Em] hotel up on Hollywood West.
[C] July [D] 29, [G] she'd been [C] lying there for [D] two weeks, [G] neighbors said they [C] never [D] heard her [G] squeak.
The hungry [Em] eyes that could not speak, [C] said even little [D] doggies look out to eat.
She [G] was a winner, that became the [C] doggie's diva.
[Am] She never meant that [G] much to me, oh, [C] oh, [D] oh, oh, oh, [G] oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, [C] oh.
[G] [D] [G] Mary Provis [C] wasn't the [D] queen, [G] mysterious angel [C] of the silent [D] street.
[G] Emerald like the wind, [Em] delicious young man's theme, [C] when Mary [D] crossed the silent street.
[G] Oh, she came out [C] west, not [D] to be off, [G] but when the doggies came, [C] her reaches [D] could be full.
[G] Her public [Em] semper, it'd take a while, [C] all the [D] way back to New York.
She [G] was a winner, that became the [C] doggie's diva.
[Am] She never meant [G] that much to me, [C] but now I [D] see, [G] poor Marie.

[G] [D] [G] Those quaint [C] bombs didn't [D] help her sleep, [G] as her nights grew [C] long and her days grew [D] bleak.
[G] It's all downhill [Em] once you pass two feet, [C] Marie got [G] ready for [D] that last big sneak.
[G] The cops came in and [C] they looked [D] around, [G] throwing up everywhere [C] over what [D] they found.
[G] The heavy work [Em] of Marie's little vac sound, [C] that hungry [D] little vac sound.
She [G] was a winner, that became the [C] doggie's diva.
[Am] She never meant that [G] much to me, [C] oh, [D] oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, [G] oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh. Poor Marie.
