Electric Light Orchestra is a symphonic rock band which formed in Birmingham, England in 1970. The band was formed by Jeff Lynne (vocals, guitar, multiple instruments), Roy Wood (multiple instruments, vocals), Richard Tandy (keyboards, vocals) and Bev Bevan (drums). Lynne, Wood and Bevan were former members of the psychedelic rock band The Move. The band's lineup would fluctuate throughout its original incarnation, although Lynne, Tandy and Bevan would remain constant members.

CC+ Am Who thanked the Lord for the clothes that she wore and mended
C7FGC Nellie with the big old fashioned eyes
CC+ Am Who won the heart of a crowd tore apart, took a bow
C7FGC Nellie there's a different world backstage
(Chorus:) BbFmaj7 I see the flood lights burning
BbFmaj7 I hear the band play on
BbAmGmFFC Now Nel---lie takes her bow
CC+ Am She said she really could not stay
C7FGC Nellie she had a brand new play to play
CC+ AmC7 And so she paints her face and smiles
FGC And she'll be some one else in a while
(Chorus)
CC+ Just another lonely girl who could not face a broken world
Am And so she acts out all her dreams
C7 and wishes that's how it had been
F But when the audience is near
GC It seems as though she doesn't seem to care
CC+ Nellie just sent me a line to tell me she was doing fine
