Chords for Reba Mcentire - Fancy Lyrics, HQ

_ _ [F#m] _ _ _ _ [A] _
I _ [B] _ _ _ _ [F#m] _ _
_ remember it all very well, looking back it [Em] was the summer I turned 18.
[B] We lived in a one [F#m] room run down shack [D] on the outskirts of New Orleans.
[F#m] We didn't have money for food [Em] or rent, to say the least we were hard pressed.
[F#] And Mama spent every [G] last penny we had to buy me a dancing [C#m] dress.
Mama [F#] washed and combed and curled my [B] hair and she painted my eyes [F#m] in lil' deers.
[F#] Then I stepped into a satin dancing dress, the [B] hat I split from the side, [F#] cleaned up to my heel.
It was red velvet [B] trimming and it fit me [F#] good.
Standing back from the looking glass there stood a woman [B] wore a half-prone kin and stood.
She [D] said, here's your one [E] chance fancy don't [F#] _ _
_ _ [F#m] _ _ [B] let [F#] me down. _
_ _ _ _ _ Mama died a little bit of perfume on [E] my neck then she kissed my cheek.
And [B] then I saw the tears welling up in her troubled [D] eyes as she started to speak.
[F#] She looked at her pitiful shack and then she looked [E] at me and took a ragged breath.
She [D#] said, your paw's run off and I'm real sick and [D] the baby's gonna starve [E] in there.
[F#] She handed me a hard sheeple locket that said, [E] Thine own self be true.
[B] And I shivered as I watched a roach crawl across [D] the toe of my shoe.
[F#] It sounded like somebody else was talking [A#] asking, Mama what do [D#m] I do?
She [B] said, just be nice to the gentlemen fancy, [C#] they'll be nice to you.
She [D] said, here's your one [E] chance fancy don't let [F#] _ _ _ _ [A] _ _
[B] _ [F#] me down.
_ _ _ [A] _ _
[B] _ _ [D] _ _ [E] _ _ [D] _ _
[C#] _ _ [F#] _ Mama _ _ _ _ _ said, here's your one chance fancy don't let me down.
The last time I saw my mama [E] I'd have left that rickety shack.
[B] The welfare people came and took the baby, [D] Mama died and I ain't been [F#] back.
But the wheels of fate started to turn [Em] and for me there was no way out.
[B] It wasn't very long until I knew exactly [D] what my mama been [Em] talking about.
[F#] I knew what I had to do and I made [E] myself this solemn vow.
[D#] I was gonna be a lady someday [D] though I didn't know when or how.
[F#] But I couldn't see spending the rest of my life [A#] with my head held down [D#] in shame.
You [B] know I might have been born just plain white trash, [C#] but fancy was the [F#] one name.
_ [D] _ _ [B] She [F#] _ _
_ [A] said, here's your one [B] chance fancy don't [F#] let me down.
_ _ _ _ _ Well long after a benevolent man [Am] took me in off the [D#] streets.
One week later I was born as [B] ten or five room till soon.
I [F#] charmed a king, I conged a sweat [D#] and then occasionally rinsed a crack.
[F] And then I got me a Georgia mansion and a [E] delegate in New York County.
Now in [F#] _ _
_ _ [A] _ _ [A] _ _ [B] _ _
this [F#] _ _ _ _ world there's a lot of self [B] righteous, hypocrites they call [F#] me bad.
And criticize mama for turning me out [B] no matter how little we had.
[F#] But no one had to worry about nothing [A#] for [D#m] fifteen years.
[B] Well I can still hear the desperation in my [C#] poor mama's voice ringing [F#] in my ear.
[D] Here's your one [E] chance fancy don't let [F#] _ _ _ _ [F#m] _ _
[B] _ [F#] me down.
Lord [A] forgive me for [B] _ [D] what I did wrong.
[E] Well it's up to you [D] now don't let me down [C#] honey mama's gonna move [F#] you uptown. _ _ _ _
Well I guess she did.
