Intro chords:

A D A D A E A

A D

With her drop-dead looks and her little-girl charm

A E

Everybody thought she'd go far

A D

And at 20 years old she was rich as could be

A E A

And a world-famed Hollywood star

A D

With the big parts comin’ and the sweethearts, too

A E

Life was a hell of a ride

A D

But her star soon fell and her body got old

A E A

So she took a lot of pills and died

Chorus:

A D A

Well, she took a lot of pills and died

A D A

She took a lot of pills and died

A D

her star soon fell and her body got old

A E A

So she took a lot of pills and died

While the traffic crawled by in the street outside

She was sitting in her kitchenette

Listening to the scuttle of the rats in the wall

And staring at her TV set

She once might have been too proud to be found

In a hovel on the lower East Side

But nothing in the world seemed to matter much now

So she took a lot of pills and died

Chorus

Now she hasn't been seen on the silver screen

And she never may be again

But every once in a while at the far end of the dial

You can see her how she was back then

In a soft close-up, with her hair backlit

She seemed to glow inside

Yeah, but something went wrong, 'cause forty years on

She took a lot of pills and died

Chorus
