Capo on the 4th fret.

Verse 1:
          A5
      She could dance and she could sing

      She left Texas with her dreams
                                                 E5
      She swore that she could make it on her own


Verse 2:
          E5
      She was young and she was fine

      She had looks and she had time
                                            A5
      And the feelings of a woman fully grown


Verse 3:
          A5
      She hit Nashville like a storm

      As soft as she was warm
                                         D5
      Knowin' she'd be discovered any day


Verse 4:
         D5
      But the things she did the best
                 A5
      Was her overnight success
                  E5                             A5
      And the singing just got lost along the way


Chorus:
           D5                           A5
      Baby sings the blues down on Broadway
           E5                        A5
      Singing from bottom of her heart
           D5                           A5
      Baby sings the blues down on Broadway
               E5                                  A5
      Then cries herself to sleep there in the dark


Verse 5:
          A5
      From a blessing to a curse

      Things just went from bad to worse
                                                E5
      Life at night worked out the way she planned


Verse 6:
          E5
      And although her dreams were gone

      She just couldn't go back home
                                                A5
      To a town she knew that would not understand


Chorus(x2).
