Verse 1
(D major) (G major) O, for the life of an actress,
To (E minor) wear a tiara and (G major) black dress,
And (A major) modestly manage to (D major) pose,
And (A major) knightly acknowledge ap (D major) plause,
(G major) Would that her failure would burden me,
A (E minor) real
Desdemona I'd (G major) be,
(A major) Playing
Lady
Macbeth, (D major) (G major) I would (A major) revel in (D major) death.
Is this a dagger that I see,
And then, to (G major) be or (D major) not to be?
For though you die before their eyes,
The final curtain (G major) al ways falls,
(D major) Majestically you always (G major) rise
To (C major) take a (D major) dozen (G major) curtain calls.
Oh, for the life of an actress
To (C major) wear a (D major) tiara and (G major) black
dress! (C major) (D major) (G major) (C major) (G major)
But a chambermaid has (C major) so little chance
To (D major) be a famous (G major) figure (C major) head.
Where (G major) would
Bernhardt be if (C major) she were me
Upstair (G major) s making up a (C major) bed? (D major)
Bernhardt (G major) and tenacity
You start (C major) with tenacity
When you (D major) know how good you (G major) are,
Then (D major) you will (A major) surely (D major) be a star. (G major)
My turn will come,
all will (C major) face to face with fame.
(D major) Everyone, everyone will
(G major) know my name.
Trumpets will toot and re (C major) sound me
through the streets.
Kārl, (D major) the royal drummer (G major) beats.
(C major) (D major)
(G major) (C major) (D major)
(G major)
Though a chambermaid has (C major) so little choice,
To (D major) be a famous (G major) figure ahead, (E minor)
(C major) If she has (F major) the key, (D major) (G major) tenacity, (C major)
Not long (G major) will she be a bed. (C major) (D major)
(G major) An actress I will (D major) one day (G major) be,
Ooh la (D major) la, ooh la (G major) la,
I've got theatric (D major) ality.
(G major) (D major) (B minor) (D major) (G major) An actress I (D major) will one day be (G major)
(D major)
Of (G major) talent and (D major) tenacity. (G major) (A major)
(D major) You mark my words, I (A major) only need
A little luck and I'll succeed.
A (D major) little luck and you'll (A major) succeed.
(D major) You mock my words (D major) and you will see (G major) (D major)
(G major) An actress I will (D major) soon may (G major) be. (C major) (D major)
(G major) Lass forever (C major)
