[Verse 1]
[C]Mar[G]y[Em][Am][C][F][C][G][Gsus4]
[C]
Lou [G]from [Am]Garden City, Kansas
[C]Her [F]mother said one day [Em]she'd be a star
[Dm]An d[Gsus4] everyone [G]in[C] Garden Ci[G]ty[Am],
[C]Kansas,
they [F]all [Dm]agreed that [Em]she'd
go very [Dm]far.[D]
[Gsus4]Dancing les [G]sons [Am]every morning,[D]
singing [Dm]les sons in the afternoon,
[C]and Bro[F]adway was jus[Dm]t
around the corner[Gsus4].
[G]Now Mar[C]y Lou's final[F]ly
made it to Broad[G]way,
[F]but[G] she's nev[Dm]er gonna see
her [E]name in [Am]lights.
[Dsus4]And there[D] ain't[Dm]
no one can save [Gsus4]her
[G]from the [Em]fate that Broadway gave [A]her,
taking [Dm]money for her favor[Gsus4]s every
[G]nig[C]ht.[G][F][Gsus4]
[C]Mary Lou [G]left [Am]Garden City, [G]Kansas,
[C]all [F]set to take her [Em]chances
on [Dm]her own.[Gsus4]
[G]She'd [C]been the queen [G]at
[Am]all the local [C]dances,
and [F]look at all the [Em]tal ent
shows [C]she'd [Dm]won.[G]
But [Am]every road she took
[Em]led [Dm]down a dead -end s[C]treet
And she [F]had to find some [Dm]other way
to make [Gsus4]ends meet
[G]Now [C]Mary Lou has fi[F]nally
made it to Broad[G]way
[F]But [G]she's nev[Dm]er gonna see
her [E]name in light[Am]s
[D]And there ain[Dm]'t no one
can save [Gsus4]her
[G]From the [Em]fate that Broadway gave [A]her
Takin' [Dm]money for her favor
[Gsus4]s every n[G]igh[C]t.
She was [Gm]twenty -one and
[Csus4]such a love[C]ly lady[F]
[Dm]The morn[Gm]ing that she stepped down[Csus4]
from [F]the train.
Now [Am]she's pushin' thirty
[D]-five and got a [G]baby
[Em]An d she s[Am]pends her evenings
walk[Dsus4]in' in th[D]e rain.[Dm][Gsus4]
[G]And she can't [C]go back to [G]Gar[Am]den City,
Kansas
[C]Cause [F]she's not the little [Em]girl
she [C]used [Dm]to be[Gsus4]
An[G]d her m[C]other's gone f[G]rom G[Am]arden City,
Kansas
[C]She said [F]the weather and
her health [C]did not [Dm]agree
[Gsus4]So every [G]lon[Am]ely evening[Em]
she'll [Dm]kiss her little [Gsus4]girl goodnigh[C]t
And [F]walk onto her stage
[Dm]under the corner light[Gsus4]
[G]Now Mar[C]y Lou has final[F]ly
made it to Broad[G]way
[F]But [G]she's nev[Dm] er gonna
see her [E]name in [Am]light
[Dsus4]And there a[D]in't[Dm]
no one can save [G]her
From the [Em]fate that Broadway gave [A]her
Taking [Dm]money for her favor[Gsus4]s
[G]every [C]night[G][Am][C][F][C][Gsus4]
