BG#5
She was the girl in the very front row
D#m
always waitin’ after the show
BG#5
she was the queen of the hollywood hills
D#m
knew the stars, the bars, the pimps and pills
D
somebody’s climbin’ on a greyhound tonight
EmA
too much lipstick and her dress real tight
D
looks like a woman but she ain’t quite
EmA
no, not quite
--------------------------------
D#m/5+ A
she’s somebody’s baby
D#m/5+ A
she’s somebody’s mother’s child
D#m/5+ A
she may look like a lady
E
but she’s just a flower grown wild
--------------------------------
BG#5
they never knew you by your childhood name
D#m
but they were drawn to you like moths to a flame
BG#5
nobody saw the tears in your silk n' lace
D#m
or the scarred little kid behind your face
D
just remember when you hold her tight
EmA
what you’re holding in your arms tonight
D
she’s no angel, but that’s alright
EmA
ya that's alright
--------------------------------
D#m/5+ A
she’s somebody’s baby
D#m/5+ A
she’s somebody’s mother’s child
D#m/5+ A
she may look like a lady
E
but she’s just a flower grown wild
--------------------------------
D
just another little pretty thing
EmA
another angel with a broken wing
D
who fell to earth ‘neath the hollywood hills
EmA
amid the stars and the bars, the pimps and pills
--------------------------------
BG#5D#m
--------------------------------
BG#5
just like the girl on the movie screen
D#m
she played it up until the very last scene
BG#5
the picture faded and the day was done
D#m
went home to nothin but a loaded gun
--------------------------------
D
somebody's climbing on a greyhound tonight
EmA
a little angel flyin' out of sight
D
looks like a woman but she ain't quite
EmA
no, not quite
--------------------------------
D#m/5+ A
she’s somebody’s baby
D#m/5+ A
she’s somebody’s mother’s child
D#m/5+ A
she may look like a lady
E
but she’s just a flower grown wild
