Barnes and Patsy Barnes performed by Vern Gosdin. Capo on the 4th fret. Verse 1: A She could dance and she could sing She left Texas with her dreams E She swore that she could make it on her own Verse 2: E She was young and she was fine She had looks and she had time A And the feelings of a woman fully grown Verse 3: A She hit Nashville like a storm As soft as she was warm D Knowin' she'd be discovered any day Verse 4: D But the things she did the best A Was her overnight success E A And the singing just got lost along the way Chorus: D A Baby sings the blues down on Broadway E A Singing from bottom of her heart D A Baby sings the blues down on Broadway E A Then cries herself to sleep there in the dark Verse 5: A From a blessing to a curse Things just went from bad to worse E Life at night worked out the way she planned Verse 6: E And although her dreams were gone She just couldn't go back home A To a town she knew that would not understand Chorus(x2).
