All music and lyrics by Jeff Lynne
C C+ Am
Who thanked the Lord for the clothes that she wore and mended
C7 F G C
Nellie with the big old fashioned eyes
C C+ Am
Who won the heart of a crowd tore apart, took a bow
C7 F G C
Nellie there's a different world backstage
(Chorus:)
Bb Fmaj7
I see the flood lights burning
Bb Fmaj7
I hear the band play on
Bb Am Gm F F C
Now Nel---lie takes her bow
C C+ Am
She said she really could not stay
C7 F G C
Nellie she had a brand new play to play
C C+ Am C7
And so she paints her face and smiles
F G C
And she'll be some one else in a while
(Chorus)
C C+
Just another lonely girl who could not face a broken world
Am
And so she acts out all her dreams
C7
and wishes that's how it had been
F
But when the audience is near
G C
It seems as though she doesn't seem to care
C C+
Nellie just sent me a line to tell me she was doing fine
Am
She got the lead and on Brodway
C7
And now they're digging her today
F
And as she turns the final page
G C
Living some one's life upon the stage
(Chorus)
Album ever, back when Roy Wood was part of ELO.
