Electric Light Orchestra fue un exitoso grupo de rock de Birmingham, Inglaterra de la época de los 70's y los 80's.
Banda formada en 1971 por Roy Wood, Jeff Lynne y Bev Bevan, en prinicipio era un proyecto paralelo a The Move, banda integrada por los mismos miembros, más tarde The Move se disolvería y el genio de Roy Wood tras el debut de E.L.O. abandonaría el grupo quedando Lynne de líder. Su primer y extravagante album intentó fusionar instrumentos clásicos
¡Cuatro años de duro trabajo!Este mes de mayo cumplimos cuatro años al aire. Seguimos trabajando en la difusión de este maravilloso instrumento, ¡gracias por participar en nuestra historia!
Nellie Takes Her Bow is from the No Answer album. It was the first ELO Album ever, back when Roy Wood was part of ELO.

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
