D5           A5       G5      D5     G5 - G5   D5 
You came a long way from St. Louis, 
                 A5    G5    D5    G5 - G5   D5 
You climbed the ladder of success; 
       A5               G5     D5 
I've seen the town and country cars 
          B5             G5            E5   A5     D5  F5 A5 
That were parked out in front of your fancy ad - dress. 
 
 
                    G5      D5     G5 - G5   D5 
You came a long way from St. Louis; 
             A5      G5      D5    G5 - G5   D5 
You broke a lot of hearts between. 
      A5             G5     D5 
I've seen a gang of gloomy gals 
          B5         G5           E5     A5     D5   G5  D5 
Who were doin' all right til you came on the scene. 
 
(Bridge:) 
              D5               G5 
You came here from the middle West 
                 G5             C5          D5 
And certainly impressed the population hereabouts; 
            D5              G5 
Well, baby, I got news for you, 
                   G5     E5     A5      A5   E5 - G5  A5 
I'm from Missouri, too, so natcherly, I got my doubts. 
(N/C/)        A5     G5    D5       G5 - G5   D5 
You got 'em droppin by the wayside, 
          A5      G5       D5    G5 - G5   D5 
A feelin' I ain't gon - na know; 
             A5      G5       D5         
You came a long way from St. Louis, 
      B5         G5         E5      A5  D5   G5 - G5   D5 
But, Baby, you still got a long way to go.
