Capo on the 4th fret.

Verse 1:
          A
      She could dance and she could sing

      She left Texas with her dreams
                                                 E
      She swore that she could make it on her own


Verse 2:
          E
      She was young and she was fine

      She had looks and she had time
                                            A
      And the feelings of a woman fully grown


Verse 3:
          A
      She hit Nashville like a storm

      As soft as she was warm
                                         D
      Knowin' she'd be discovered any day


Verse 4:
         D
      But the things she did the best
                 A
      Was her overnight success
                  E                             A
      And the singing just got lost along the way


Chorus:
           D                           A
      Baby sings the blues down on Broadway
           E                        A
      Singing from bottom of her heart
           D                           A
      Baby sings the blues down on Broadway
               E                                  A
      Then cries herself to sleep there in the dark


Verse 5:
          A
      From a blessing to a curse

      Things just went from bad to worse
                                                E
      Life at night worked out the way she planned


Verse 6:
          E
      And although her dreams were gone

      She just couldn't go back home
                                                A
      To a town she knew that would not understand


Chorus(x2).
