[B] _ _ _ _ [F#m] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _
[B] _ _ _ _ [F#] I _ _ remember it all very well, looking [E] back it was the summer I turned 18.
[B] We lived in a one room run down chapel down in New Orleans.
[F#] We didn't have money for food or [E] rent, say the least, we were hard pressed.
[B] Mama spent every last penny we had to buy me a dancing dress.
[F#] Mama watched and called me curl my [B] hair, and she painted my [F#] eyes in linseed.
And then I stepped into a satin dancing [B] dress I had a slip from the [F#] cycling up the mountain.
_ It was red [B] velvet trim and it [F#] fit me good.
I stand back from the looking glass there stood a [B] woman with a hat thrown, [F#] get it still.
[D] She said, here's your [E] one chance fancy [F#] _ _ _ _
[A] _ _ [B] _ [F#] don't let it down. _ _
[C#] _ [F#] _ _ Mama had a little bit of perfume [E] on my neck, then she kissed my cheek.
[B] And then I saw the tears welling up in her [D] troubled eyes when she started to speak.
[F#] She looked at her pitiful shack and then she [B] looked at me and took a ragged breath.
She said, your paws run off and I'm real [D] sick and the baby's gonna stalk you.
[F#] She handed me a heart shaped locket that [E] said, be thine own self, be true.
[B] And I stood there as I watched her rose fall [D] across the door, my, how did she.
[F#] Sounded like somebody else was [A#] talking, asking mama [D#m] what do I do.
[B] She said, just be nice to the gentleman [C#] fancy, they'll be [F#] nice to you.
[D] She said, here's your [E] one chance fancy don't [F#] let, _ _ _ [A] here's your [B] one chance fancy [F#] don't let me down.
[A] Oh, forgive me for [B] what I _
[D] _ _ [E] do to [D] you, now don't let me [C#] down, honey, mama's gonna [F#] move me uptown, uptown. _ _ _
That was the last time I saw my [E] mother, now I'm near that rickety shack.
[B] The welfare people came and took the baby, [D] mama died and I [A] ain't been back.
[F#] But the wheel, baby, started to [E] turn and for me there was no way out.
[B] It wasn't very long till I knew [D] exactly what my mama been talking about.
[F#] I knew what I had to do and I [E] made myself this solemn vow.
[B] That I was gonna be a lady someday, [D] though I didn't know when or how.
[F#] But I couldn't see spending the rest of my [A#] life with [D#m] a man.
You [B] know I might have been born just plain white trash, [C#] a fancy woman [F#] by name.
She [D] said, here's your one [E] chance fancy, _ [F#] _ _ _
[A] here's your one [B] chance fancy don't [F#] let me down. _ _
_ _ _ Wasn't long after I benevolent man took [F#m] a mean.
_ _ One weekend later I was born [C#m] as Tina Fyverer.
_ I [G#] became the king of Congress, funding an occasional risk [Bm] grant.
And then I got me a Georgia mansion in an [B] elegant New York town.
Hey!
_ [A] I _ _
_ _ [F#] _ _ _ _ _ _
[F#m] _ _ [F#] _ screwed up a lot of self [B]-righteous, it looks like [F#] home in fact.
Criticized my mama for turning me [B] out, no matter how did [F#] it happen.
I was born, I had to worry about nothing [A#] from now on, [D#m] fifteen years.
Well [B] I was still not an inspiration and my poor mama's voice [F#] ringing in my ear.
[D] Here's your one chance [E] fancy darling, [F#] _ _
_ here's your [B] one chance fancy don't [F#] let me down.
Lord [A] forgive me for what I do, baby [D] you are my one and only.
It's [E] up to [D] you, I don't let me down.
[C#] Honey mama's gonna put me up [F#] down. _
_ _ [F#m] _ And I guess [F#] she did. _ _
[A] _ _ _ _ _ [B] _ _ _
[E] _ _ [F#] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ Reba [N] Mack!
