F      Ddim         C7
 Every  thing from  toothpicks

 To a baby -  grand

F               C13
 Stuff in our a  partment

 Even clothes I'm  wearing
D7       G7       C
 Someone  wore be  fore

Gm              D7             Gm
 It's no wonder  that I feel a  bused

I  never get a thing that ain't been  used

F                  G7
 Second hand hats,  second hand clothes
C7                       F                  C+
 That's why they call me  Second hand Rose

F               Ebdim   C7       Ebdim
 Even our piano  in the  parlor
C7     C9          C7         C+      F      C7
 Daddy  bought for  ten cents  on the  dollar

F                                G7
 Second hand pearls, I'm wearing  second hand curls
   F9     F7    F9     F7           Bb
I   never get a single thing that's  new

Gm     Cm6         Gm
 Even   Jake, the   plumber,
Cm6       Gm      EbdimGm     Bbm6
 he's the  man I   a  dore

F        Bbm6      F

 Every  one's dis  gusted,
Gm7            C7
 everything is  wrong

 Second handed  doggle,

 Second   handed   mat

 I think father's  head is made of  wood
   G7                                        C7
He  brings home lots of things that ain't no  good
C+
 I'm wearing

 Second hand shoes,  second hand hose
C7                           F                   C+
 All the girls hand me their  second hand beaux

 Once while  strolling  thru the
Cm6     Gm        EbdimGm     Bbm6
 Ritz a  girl got  my  goat

She  nudged her  friend and  said oh!
