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 Gm
A ring and a car
F
Now you're the prettiest by far
VERSE 2:
F
No party she'd not attend
No invitation she wouldn't send
Bb Gm
Transfixed by the inner sound
F
Of your promise to be found
PRE-CHORUS:
F
"Nothing or no one will ever
Bb Gm
Make me let you down"
CHORUS:
F Bb Gm
Kiss them for me, I may be delayed
F
Kiss them for me, if I am delayed
VERSE 3:
F
It's divoon, oh it's serene
In the fountains pink champagne
Bb Gm
Someone carving their devotion
F
In the heart-shaped pool of fame
PRE-CHORUS:
F (break)
"Nothing or no one will ever
Bb Gm
Make me let you down"
CHORUS:
F Bb Gm
Kiss them for me, I may be delayed
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
Bb Gm
As the tenth(?) impact shimmered
F Bb Gm
The forbidden candles beamed
CHORUS:
F Bb Gm
Kiss them for me, I may be delayed
F Bb Gm
Kiss them for me, I may find myself delayed
F Bb Gm
Kiss them for me, Kiss them for me
F
Kiss them for me, I may find myself delayed
