Key: G Major
🎸 Intro:

   G Am F


🎸 Verse:
              G
Her name was Kitty
                                 Am
Made her money being pretty and witty
                    C         G
They gave her the keys to this city
 G                                     Am  F
Then they said she didn't do it legitly, uh
              G
I bought a ticket
                                     Am
She's dancing in her garters and fishnets
  C                        G
Fifty in the cast, zero missteps
                                Am F
Looking back, I guess it was kismet

PRE-🎸 Chorus:
    G
I waited by the stage door
  G
Packed in with the autograph
  Am
Hounds barking her name
      C                            G
Then glowing like the end of a cigarette
  G
Wow, she came out
                 F
I said, "You're living my drеam"
     D
Then she said to me




🎸 Chorus:
  G                              Am
"Hеy, thank you for the lovely bouquet
          C
You're sweeter than a peach
      G                   C                F
But you don't know the life of a showgirl, babe
             C
And you're never, ever gonna
 G                                          Am
Wait, the more you play, the more that you pay
         C                   G
You're softer than a kitten, so
 G                                     F
You don't know the life of a showgirl, babe
           C
And you're never gonna wanna"

🎸 Verse:
           C
She was a menace
                            Dm
The baby of the family in Lenox
             Bb                    C
Her father whored around like all men did
                                  Dm Bb
Her mother took pills and played tennis

PRE-🎸 Chorus:
         C
So she waited by the stage door
                              Dm
Asked the club for more to arrive
           Dm                         Bb               C
She said, "I'd sell my soul to have a taste of a magnificent life"

It's all mine
         Bb
But that's not what showgirls get

They leave us for dead




🎸 Chorus:
  G                            Am
Hey, thank you for the lovely bouquet
         C
You're sweeter than a peach
     G                             C        F
But you don't know the life of a showgirl, babe
        C
And you're never, ever gonna
 G                                          Am
Wait, the more you play, the more that you pay
          F
You're softer than a kitten, so
                                C       F
You don't know the life of a showgirl, babe
             C            G
And you're never gonna wanna

🎸 Bridge:
 G
I took her pearls of wisdom
 F
Hung them from my neck
 C
I paid my dues with every bruise
Cm               G
I knew what to expect
  G                   F
Do you wanna take a skate on the ice inside my veins?
 C
They ripped me off like false lashes
  Cm
And then threw me away

G               G7             C
And all the headshots on the walls
          Cm                   G
Of the dance hall are of the bitches
  G          G7            C Cm
Who wish I'd hurry up and die
           Cm
But I'm immortal now, baby dolls
     D
I couldn't if I tried, so I say

🎸 Chorus:
   G                         Am
"Thank you for the lovely bouquet
      F
I'm married to the hustle
     G                C                 F
And now I know the life of a showgirl, babe
         C
And I'll never know another

G                               Am
Pain hidden by the lipstick and lace (Lipstick and lace)
   F                        G           C                 F
Sequins are forever and now I know the life of a showgirl, babe
           C                G                             Am
Wouldn't have it any other way (Thank you for the lovely bouquet)
          F                 G      C                   F  C
Wouldn't have it any other way (Thank you for lovely bouquet)
       G                               Am
Hey, Kitty (Thank you for the lovely bouquet)
                 F                    G
Now I'm making money being pretty and witty
   C                       F
Thank you for the lovely bouquet"
