You came a long way from St. Louis 
                 A    Gdim    D    G   Gdim D 
You climbed the ladder of success 
       A               Gdim     D 
I've seen the town and country cars 
          Bm             G            Em7   A7     D Fdim A7 
That were parked out in front of your  fancy  adress 
                    Gdim      D     G   Gdim D 
You came a long way from St. Louis 
             A      Gdim      D    G   Gdim D 
You broke a lot of hearts between 
      A             Gdim     D 
I've seen a gang of gloomy gals 
          Bm         G           Em7     A7     D   Gdim  D 
Who were doin' all right til you came on the scene 

Bridge 
              D7               G 
You came here from the middle West 
                 Gm7             C7          D 
And certainly impressed the population hereabouts 
            D7              G 
Well, baby, I got news for you 
                   Gm7     Em5-/7     A4/7          A7   Em7  G/B  A7 
I'm from Missouri, too, so natcherly, I got my doubts 
              A     Gdim    D       G   Gdim D 
You got 'em droppin by the wayside 
          A      Gdim    D    G   Gdim D 
A feelin' I ain't gonna know 
             A      Gdim       D         
You came a long way from St. Louis, 
      Bm         G         Em7      A7  D    G  Gdim D 
But, Baby, you still got a long way to go
