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.) 
E       A       B        E             A      B
Once he let me share his dreams
E                 A     B      E             A      B
But now that they come true it seems 
E               F#m             Gm                 A
He doesn't want my love I guess look there goes my happiness 
                 E  A  B
They're climbin' up up up the ladder of success 
E
(The ladder of success.) 
E           A       B          E             A      B
Things are like he said they'd be 
E             A      B       E             A      B
I thought his plans included me 
E               F#m         Gm                         A
He forgot his words of love fame is all he's thinking of 
        E  A     B                    E
A going up up up up the ladder of success
E7
(The ladder of success.) 
A                                   E
I liked him better in his white dungarees 
A                 F#              B
When he was all mine with patches on his knees 
(With patches on his knees) 
E                  A     B          E        A   B
When his name went up in lights 
E                  A     B          E        A   B
All I got were lonely nights. 
E                   F#m
He doesn't want my love I guess 
Gm                   A
Look there goes my happiness 
         E    A   B
A goin' up up up up the ladder of success 
(Climbin' up whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa...)
