[Verse 1]
[G](alternate between |320003| and
|302003|)

[Verse 2]
She was [G]livin' in a Cadillac
Bedded down in the back seat
On a back street of the Hollywood [D]hills
With a shoebox museum of memories
Old photos and medical [G]bills
She'd been a great actress
in two dozen movies
Played Shakespeare on the
great London [C]stage
Before the three husbands,
six [G]kids and bad breaks
Of [D]fifty- eight odd years of [G]age

[Verse 3]
[G]Him they called fat boy wore grey overalls
And he clocked in at four hundred [D]pounds
With a passion for food
and film magazines
He'd been a great critic down[G]town
He'd seen all her movies,
worshipped her face
Heard her story and took her on [C]in
Though she bore no resemblance
to the [G]star he adored
The [D]film's over before real life be[G]gins

[Verse 4]
She [C]told him of a fountain of youth
In the hot [D]Texas earth
It'll [C]heal and renew us
It's somewhere west of Fort [D]Worth
And she [C]met Errol Flynn there
In the Crazy Water [G]Hotel[C]
And they danced [Am]down the street
In the [D]moonlight of old Mineral [C]Wells

[Verse 5]
[C](alternate between |320003| and
[G]|302003|)

[Verse 6]
So they boarded a greyhound
in search of the fountain
Fat boy and the aging film [D]queen
Through the Great Painted Desert
and all across Texas
Amarillo plain to [G]Abilene
They got off in Fort Worth for
a fresh cup of coffee
Caught the local to old Mineral [C]Wells
And it dropped them in front of
that [G]boarded up palace
Called the [D]Crazy Water Hotel
[G]

[Verse 7]
Disillusioned they found a cheap
room off the highway
Drank vodka from a [D]styrofoam cup
There'd be no healing return
to the past
The fountain of youth had dried [G]up
So the critic and the film star
held hands and drank vodka
As the great Texas sun rose and [C]fell
And drunk but still dreaming they
[G]waltzed down the street
[D]In the moonlight of old Mineral Well[G]s

[Verse 8]
She [C]told him of a fountain of youth
In the hot [D]Texas earth
It'll [C]heal and renew us
It's somewhere west [D]of Fort Worth
And she [C]met Errol Flynn there
In the Crazy Water [G]Hotel[C]
And they [Am]danced down the street
In the [D]moonlight of old Mineral [C]Wells

[Verse 9]
They [Am]danced down the street
In the [D]moonlight of old Mineral [G]Wells[C]

[Outro 1]
[G]
