D 
G 
A  pretty
C 
little country girl from Fairfax,
G 
West Virginia
Could sing old songs and
A 
D 
play on her guitar
G 
The neighbors told her
C 
G 
she should go to Music City
D 
G 
Get on a record and become a  star
Well, she begged a hundred dollars
C 
G 
from her coal -mining pappy
A 
D 
That he had worked so very hard to save
G 
But things didn't work out
C 
G 
like she hoped in Music City
D 
G 
Now little Patsy Martin's in her grave
B 
Patsy didn't make it in
Music City circles
Em 
A 
She became a gate at Music
D 
Grove's command
G 
A few in the business
C 
G 
drug her down to the gutter
D 
Now she stars in St. Peter's Angel

Contracts were promised
C 
G 
to Patsy by the dozen,
A 
D 
But they all seemed to have a hidden line.
G 
It said they must be signed
C 
G 
in the re cord man's apartment,
And you know now just what was
D 
G 
on his mind.
Everywhere she went was
C 
G 
the same old story,
And I guess she finally
A 
D 
met that cruel command.
G 
She never got to pay back
C 
G 
her coal -mining pavet,
D 
G 
Now she stars in St. Peter's Angel Band.
B 
Patsy didn't make it in
Music City circles,
Em 
A 
She became a date at Music
D 
Row's command.
G 
A few in the business
C 
G 
drove her down to the gutter,
D 
G 
Now she stars in St. Peter's Angel Band.
