A#m                               Em  
..Simone writes little of much consequence
A                               D       Gm   
..Unless the theater’s how you pay the rent
A#m                         Em  
..A new work of some semi-memoir sits
A                           D      Gm
..Inside the weekend book editors desk
                D                 Gm
And while they have not mentioned it
                 D                  Gm  
She must watch roses get thrown at less
               D 
Oh, the indignity

[Chorus]
A                             D    G 
..It was just the thing for their Q4
                         D       A   
“Deeply funny” was the rave refrain
                            D    G  
It was just the thing for their Q4
                               D    A 
It’ll be on stands before the holidays

A#m                             Em
..B?r sister was not much long for this world
A                             D       Gm
..She danced as if a danc?r danced as if
A#m                     Em
..As if she had a body to sustain
A                       D    Gm
..As if an audience to entertain
             D                 Gm  
This ironic distance kept her sane
            D            Gm 
While her vessel sailed away
                 D    
It was all very literary
          
And the truth was

[Chorus]
A                              D   G

It was just the thing for their Q4
                               D          A 
These are the stories that we need right now

[Bridge]
F#7
..How could she compete?
                        A#m  
(I’m sure she wouldn’t mind)

With a memory such as she
                   G  
(But who else than I)

Leigh died so many months ago
                               F#7
(Could write the story of her life?)
                           A 
“By now this tragedy’s my own!”
F   Em  A
Oh, oh, oh

The film adaptation was a total mess
