Verse 1
E 
Em 
I remember it all very well
E 
looking back
Was the summer I turned eighteen
Em 
E 
We lived in a one room, worn-out shack
shack
Em 
On the outskirts of New Or  leans
We didn't have money
E 
for food or rent
To say the least we was hard-pressed
And And mama spent
every last penny we had
To buy me a dancin' dress
Mama washed and combed
and curled my hair
And she painted my eyes and lips
Em 
E 
Stepped into a satin dancin' dress
That had a slit in the side
clean up to my hips
It was red velvet trimming
Em 
and it fit me good
E 
Staring back from the looking glass
There stood a woman where a half-grown
boy boy had stood
Em 
E 
Em 

Verse 2
C 
Here's your one chance, Fancy,
Em 
E 
don't let me down
Em 
G 
A 
Here's your one chance, Fancy,
don't let me down

Verse 3
Mama dabbed a little bit
of perfume on my neck
And she kissed my cheek
I could see the tears welling up
in her troubled eyes
As she started to speak
Em 
She looked at our pi
tiful shack
E 
And then she looked at me and
took a ragged breath
Em 
She said your Pa's run off
and I'm real sick
C 
And the baby's gonna starve to death
Em 
E 
She handed me a heart-shaped
locket locket that said
A 
D 
"To thine own self be true"
A 
And I shivered as I watched a roach
D 
C 
Crawl across the toe of my
high-heeled shoe
shoe
Em 
It sounded like somebody
else that was talking
E 
C#m 
Asking, "Mama what do I do?"
A 
She said, "Just be nice to the gentlemen,
B 
Fancy, they'll be nice to you"

Verse 4
C 
Here's your one chance, Fancy,
E 
don't let me down
G 
A 
Here's your one chance, Fancy,
E 
don't let me down
G 
A 
Lord, forgive me for what I do
C 
D 
But if you want out, well, it's up to you
C 
Don't let me down now,
Bm 
E 
Em 
E 
your mama's gonna move you uptown

Verse 5
E 
Em 
That was the last time I saw my Ma
D 
The night I left that rickety shack
A 
The welfare people came
and took the baby
D 
C 
Cm 
Mama died and I ain't been back
C 
Em 
E 
But the wheels of fate had
Em 
started to turn
D 
And for me there was no way out
A 
It wasn't very long till I knew
C 
Exactly what my mama'd been talking about
Em 
I knew what I had to do
D 
But I made myself this solemn vow
A 
Said I was gonna be a lady someday
C 
Though it didn't matter when or how
Em 
E 
I couldn't see spending
the rest of my life
C#m 
With my head held down in shame
A 
You know, I might've been
born just plain white trash
Bm 
But Fancy was my name

Verse 6
C 
Here's your one chance, Fancy,
E 
don't let me down
G 
A 
Here's your one chance, Fancy,
don't let me down

Verse 7
E 
It wasn't long after a benevolent man
Em 
Took me in off the street
E 
Em 
One week later I was pouring his tea
E 
A 
Em 
In a five-room hotel hotel suite
I charmed a king,
a congressman
E 
Em 
And the occasional ar istocrat
I got me a Georgia mansion
A 
E 
And an elegant New York townhouse flat and
Em 
E 
Em 
I ain't done bad
G 
A 

Verse 8
E 
Now in this life
Em 
There's a lot of self-righteous hy
E 
Em 
pocrites hypocrites that call me bad
E 
And criticize mama for turn
Em 
ing me out
A 
E 
No matter how little we had
And though I ain't had to worry
'bout nothin'
For now on fifteen years
A 
I can still hear the desperation
B 
in my poor mama's voice

Verse 9
Ringing in my ears
C 
Here's your one chance, Fancy,
E 
don't let me down
G 
A 
Here's your one chance, Fancy,
E 
don't let me down
G 
A 
Lord, forgive me for what I do
C

But if you want out, well, it's up to you

Don't let me down now, your mama's gonna

Em 
move you Uptown
