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
