Intro:

A  G, A (x4)

Verse 1:

A                       G
 We were together since we were five,
                                      A
She was so pretty; Emma was a star in everyone's eyes,
                                          G
And when she said she'd be a movie queen, nobody laughed,
                                     A
Her face like an angel; she could be anything.

Chorus 1:

A                G
 Emmalene, Emma, Emmalene,
                                       A
I'm gonna write your name high on that silver screen.
                G
Emmalene, Emma, Emmalene,
                                                   A
I'm gonna make you the biggest star this world has ever seen.

Interlude:

A  G, A

Verse 2:

   A          G
At seventeen, we were wed,
                                     A
And worked day and night to earn our daily bread.
                                G
And every day Emma would go out searching for that play,
                A
That never ever came her way.

         A                         G
You know sometimes she'd come home so depressed,
                                              A
I'd hear her crying in the back room, feeling so distressed.
                           G
And I'd remember back when she was five,
                                        A
To the words that used to make Emmalene come alive. It was...

Chorus 2:

A                G
 Emmalene, Emma, Emmalene,
                                       A
I'm gonna write your name high on that silver screen.
                G
Emmalene, Emma, Emmalene,
                                                   A
I'm gonna make you the biggest star this world has ever seen.

A  G, A (x4)

Verse 3:

       A                G
It was cold and dark De-cember night,
                  A
When I opened the bedroom door,
                                    G
To find her lying still and cold up-on the bed;
                           A
A love letter lying on the bedroom floor.

        A            G
It read; "Darling, I love you,
                                   A
But I just can't keep on living on dreams no more".
                             G
"I tried so very hard not to leave you alone;
                     A
I just can't keep on tryin' no more".

Coda:

     A    G  A
Emma-lene,
             G  A
Oh, Emmalene.
          G  A
Emmalene...
