[C]Whatever happened to Rosemary Pillowater?
[C]Whatever happened to our Rosemary Pillowater?
She [G]lived round bouts 1917 at the birth of the silver screen
And played demure dark ladies on Sunday
Like Vamp and Gloria Swanson you know
[C]Some days a boy like me could [Em]be
The daft fan [C]of the silver screen [G]
[C]Whatever happened to Rosemary Pillowater?
[C]Whatever happened to our Rosemary Pillowater?
She [G]worked at showing skin to little boys
Who'd pay ten cents to be a voyeur
For a minute at the arcade from their
Winnins at the card table a
[C]Penchant for what they say's ob[Em]scene
The daft fan [C]of the silver screen [G]
[Em]Oh, she was just five feet tall
but the scratches on the wall say she es[D]caped
[Em]You can't incinerate the white hot
Heat of self hate she was a[F]lone[G]
And she [Am]thought of Greta Johanson
As she drank her last Algonquin
And she stepped out on the ledge just like a [G]dove
And her [Am]world closed in around her
As her hands raised high above her
And she dove from the Long Beach Breakers Ho[F]tel
The [C]longest short ca[Bb]reer you've ever seen [F]
And [C]woe to the daft fan [Bb]of the silver [F]screen
[F]Whatever happened to Rosemary Pillowater?
[F]Whatever happened to our Rosemary Pillowater?
She [C]died.
