D           A       Gdim      D     G - Gdim   D 
You came a long way from St. Louis, 
 
                 A    Gdim    D    G - Gdim   D 
You climbed the ladder of success; 
 
       A               Gdim     D 
I've seen the town and country cars 
 
          Bm             G            Em7   A7     D  Fdim A7 
That were parked out in front of your fancy ad - dress.

      A             Gdim     D 
I've seen a gang of gloomy gals 
 
          Bm         G           Em7     A7     D   Gdim  D 
Who were doin' all right til you came on the scene. 
 
 
 
(Bridge:)

You came here from the middle West 
 
                 Gm7             C7          D 
And certainly impressed the population hereabouts; 
 
            D7              G 
Well, baby, I got news for you, 
 
                   Gm7     Em7/5-     A7sus4      A7   Em7 - G/B  A7

You got 'em droppin by the wayside, 
 
          A      Gdim       D    G - Gdim   D 
A feelin' I ain't gon - na know; 
 
             A      Gdim       D         
You came a long way from St. Louis, 
 
      Bm         G         Em7      A7  D   G - Gdim   D 
But, Baby, you still got a long way to go.
