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

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"

But the wheels of fate had

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

I couldn't see spending

the rest of my life
C#m

With my head held down in shame

You know, I might've been

born just plain white trash

But Fancy was my name

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

And the occasional ar istocrat

I got me a Georgia mansion
A
E

And an elegant New York townhouse flat and

Now in this life

There's a lot of self-righteous hy

  • Best Tuning App Ever

    MaddProfessor

    I've downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

  • Well-Designed App

    Rose the Black Cat

    I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

  • Got me back into playing

    Tuliketsune

    I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

  • Secret weapon

    Brad

    Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

  • Very reliable tuner

    theNewPaul

    This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!

  • This is the best guitar tuner ever.

    Caleb Schafli

    It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.

  • Great to tune and play

    Lynae T

    I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.
