[Verse 1]
[D]I remember it all very well lookin' back
it was the [C]summer I turned eighteen
We [G]lived in a oneroom rundown [Gm]shack
on [Bb]the outskirts of New Orleans
We [D]didn't have money for food or rent to
say the [C]least we were hard pressed
Then [G]mama spent every last penny we had
[Gm]to buy me a [Bb]satin dancin' dress
Mama [D]washed and combed and curled my
hair and she [G]painted my eyes and lips
[D]Then I stepped into my
satin dancin' dress
That had a split [G]on the side
clean up to my [D]hips
It was red velvet [G]trim and it fit me good and star
[D]in' back from the lookin' glass
There stood a woman where a
[G]half grown kid [D]had stood
[Bb]Here's your one chance [C]Fancy
don't let [D]me down
[F]Here's your one chance [G]Fancy
don't let [D]me down
Mama dabbed a little bit of perfume on
my neck [C]and she kissed my cheek
Then I [G]saw the tears wellin' up [Gm]in her troubled
eye[Bb]s when she started to speak
She [D]looked at a pitful shack and then she
looked at me [C]and took a ragged breath
Your [G]pa's run off and I'm real sick and
the [Bb]baby's gonna starve to death
She [D]handed me a heart shaped locket
that said [C]to thine owenself be true
And I [G]shivered as I watched a rouch crawl
across the toe [Bb]of my high heeled shoe
It [D]sounded like somebody else that was
talkin' askin' [F#]mama what do [Bm]I do
[G]Just be nice to the gentlemen Fancy and
[A]they'll be nice [D]to you[Bb][C][D]
[F]Here's your one [G]chance...[D]
Lord for[F]give me for what I [G]do but if
[Bb]you want out well [C]it's up to you
[Bb]Now don't let me down you
[A]better start movin' up[D]town
Well that was the last time I saw my ma
the night I [C]left that rickety shack
The [G]welfare people came and took [Gm]the baby
mama [Bb]died and I ain't been back
But the [D]wheels of fate had started to turn
and for [C]me there was no way out
And it [G]wasn't very long till I knew exactly
what [Bb]my mama'd been talkin' about
[D]I knew what I had to do but I made
my[C]self this solemn vow
That [G]I was gonna be a lady someday
though I [F#]did n't know [Bb]when or how
I [D]couldn't see spendin' the rest of my
life with my [F#]head hung down [Bm]in shame
I [G]might have been born just plain white
trash but [A]Fancy was my [D]name
[Bb]Here's your one [C]chance...[D]
[F]It [G]wasn't [D]long after a benevolent
man took [C]me off the street
And [G]one week later I was pourin' his
tea in a [Bb]five room motel suite
[D]I charmed a king a congressman
[G]and an occa[C]sional aristocrat
Then I [G]got me a Georgia mansion in
an elegant [Bb]New York townhouse flat
And I [G]ain't done [D]bad
