[Verse 1]
[C]Papa
used to [G]tell me as a [Am]little [D]child[G]
[D]The only rea[C]son we're her[G]e is
to [Am]make [C]'em [D]smile[G][D]
Your [C]heart may [G]break
and your [Am]world [C]may [D]fall[G]
But [D]when you [C]stand up [G]there you
[Am]stand [C]ten feet [D]tall[G]
[D]

[Verse 2]
[G][D]
So [C]following [G]in my [Am]father's [D]shoes[G]
[D]I learned to sin[C]g and dan[G]ce
and to [Am]play the [D]blues[G]
[D]I'll tel[C]l you now[G] if you
[C]don't under[D]stand[G]
[D]That I'm the liv[C]in' dau[G]ghter of
a [Am]Vaudeville [D]man[G]
[D]

[Verse 3]
[G][D]
The [C]trains ran [G]east and the [C]roads ran [G]west
And [C]I knew e[G]very o[A]ne of them
My [C]face was [G]dirty but my
[C]ribbons were pressed
[G]They were cra[C]zy day[G]s but to hav[A]e
them [C]back again
[Cm][C][Cm]

[Verse 4]

[C]One hand [G]glued to the [Am]ra d[C]i o[D][G][D]
[C]One hand [G]practicing the [Am]pi a[C]n o[D][G][D]
[C]One foot [G]tapping out the
[C]dancing [G]tun[D]e[G][D]
[C]One sole [G]trying just to [C]make a [D]dime[G]

[Verse 5]
[D]And it's han[C]d to mou[G]th
and it's [Am]mouth [C]to [D]hand[G]
[D]Say I'm the liv[C]ing dau[G]gher of
a [C]Vaudeville [D]man[G]
[D]Say I'm the liv[C]ing dau[G]ghe[Am]r of[D][G][C][G]
a [Am]Vaudeville man
