        G                    Am 
Frances Baker was a red-eyed woman  
F       C         G      Am 
She was wanted in fifteen states  
              G                 Am 
Her dress was torn right at the shoulder  
F         C    G     Am 
Resulting from her escape 


           G                Am 
She wanted love, she wanted fame 
F          C    G        Am 
She got it all, even her name 
              G                       Am 
In a concrete star on the corner of a street 
F          C         G      Am    F 
Where real lives and movies meet 
     C        G     Am       F 
Real life and movies meet

           G         C                F 
Oh, let me be in the City of Angels 
    G               C       F 
Yes, this is what I want 
             G              C    ~   Am          F 
To put on my dress and some red, red lipstick 
                   G             Am       G-Am 
Let all the people watch me as I walk 


      G                    Am 
Up in Vegas where the neon screams 
F           C              G     Am 
Loud as the traffic in her nylon scenes 
         G                 Am 
She ran away to the Circus Circus 
    F          C         G       Am 
She wears high heels like in her dreams 


            G                      Am 
Down the catwalk with her long cigarette 
F                C      G       Am 
Hanging from her pretty pouting lips 
               G                      Am 
She's gonna be famous, she's gonna be rich 
F          C     G          Am 
Rock-a-bye baby, rock-a-bye bitch 
F          C     G         Am       F 
Rock-a-bye baby, rock-a-bye__

            G                  Am 
In the lamp light of her motel room 
F          C    G      Am 
She writes home to the moon 
        G                  Am 
Say goodnight to my old bedroom 
F               C    G        Am 
I'll be home to visit someday soon 
F               C     G      Am 
I'll be home to visit someday  


        G                  Am 
Now she knows she's got it all 
F            C       G      Am 
She does her cocaine in the hall 
        G                      Am 
No more hiding in the bathroom stall 
F          C      G       Am 
She is the fairest of them all 
F          C       G       Am 
She is the fairest of them all
