A song about the actress Jayne Mansfield, and her death.
Key of F
VERSE 1:
[F]It glittered and it gleamed
For the arriving beauty queen
[Bb]A ring and a [Gm]car
Now you're the [F]prettiest by far
VERSE 2:
[F]No party she'd not attend
No invitation she wouldn't send
Trans[Bb]fixed by the [Gm]inner sound
Of your [F]promise to be found
PRE-CHORUS:
[F]
"Nothing or no one will ever
Make me let you [Bb]down" [Gm]
CHORUS:
[F]Kiss them for me, I may be delayed [Bb][Gm]
[F]Kiss them for me, if I am delayed
VERSE 3:
[F]It's divoon, oh it's serene
In the fountains pink champagne
Someone [Bb]carving their de[Gm]votion
In the [F]heart-shaped pool of fame
PRE-CHORUS:
F (break)
"Nothing or no one will ever
Make me let you [Bb]down" [Gm]
CHORUS:
[F]Kiss them for me, I may be delayed [Bb][Gm]
[F]Kiss them for me, I may find myself delayed
BREAK:
F (throughout)
VERSE 4:
[F]On the road to New Orleans
A spray of stars hit the screen
As the [Bb]tenth(?) impact [Gm]shimmered
The for[F]bidden candles beamed [Bb][Gm]
CHORUS:
[F]Kiss them for me, I may be delayed[Bb][Gm]
[F]Kiss them for me, I may find myself delayed [Bb][Gm]
[F]Kiss them for me, Kiss them for me [Bb][Gm]
[F]Kiss them for me, I may find myself delayed
