SKEETER DAVIS - Ladder Of Success
From the Album "Let Me Get Close to You (RCA Victor) (1964)
(Keith Colley - Nancie Mantz - tabbed by M. Otai)
Nothing can stop him now no one can top him now
I guess I'll have to let him go
Up, up, up, the ladder of success (up, up, up, up.)
EABEB
Once he let me share his dreams
EABEB
But now that they come true it seems
EF#mGmA
He doesn't want my love I guess look there goes my happiness
EAB
They're climbin' up up up the ladder of success
E
(The ladder of success.)
EABEB
Things are like he said they'd be
EABEB
I thought his plans included me
EF#mGmA
He forgot his words of love fame is all he's thinking of
EABE
A going up up up up the ladder of success
E7
(The ladder of success.)
AE
I liked him better in his white dungarees
AF#B
When he was all mine with patches on his knees
(With patches on his knees)
EABB
When his name went up in lights
EABB
All I got were lonely nights.
EF#m
He doesn't want my love I guess
GmA
Look there goes my happiness
EAB
A goin' up up up up the ladder of success
(Climbin' up whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa...)
