Recorded by Barbra Streisand, 1965
D Em7 A7 A6/7/9 D Em7 A7 A6/7/9
Father had a bus'ness, strictly second hand,
D Fdim Em A7 E7 Bm7-5 A7
Ev'ry thing from toothpicks to a baby grand;
D Em7 A7 A6/7/9 D Em7 A7 A6/7/9
Stuff in our apartment came from Father's store -
E7 Bm7-5 A6 B7 Bm7-5 E7 A7
Even things I'm wearing someone wore before.
Em B+ Cdim B7 Em B+ Em7 Em6
It's no wonder that I feel abused;
Gdim Bm7 Edim Bm7-5 Cdim A A9 A7
I never have a thing that ain't been used.
A7 Em7 Edim D Fdim A7 D B7 E7/9 Fdim E E7
I'm wear - ing sec - ond hand hats, sec - ond hand clothes,
Em7 A7 cdim A7 Gdim G D Fdim D A7
That's why they call me Sec - ond Hand Rose.
D Fdim D Cdim Em7 A7
Even our pi - an - o in the par - lor,
Em7 A7 G/B A7 Gdim D
Father bought for ten cents on the dol - lar.
D Fdim A7 D B7 E7/9 Fdim E E7
Sec - ond hand pearls, I'm wearing sec - ond hand curls.
Am7 D9 Am7 D7 G6
I never get a single thing that's new.
Em Cdim Em Am7 Em Cdim Em Gdim
Even Jake the plumber, he's the man I a - dore,
D Edim Bm Bm7-5 D Edim E7
Had the nerve to tell me he's been mar - ried be - fore.
D Fdim A7 D B7 E7/9 Fdim E E7
Ev' - ry - one knows that I'm just Sec - ond Hand Rose
Em7 G/B A7 Gdim D Fdim A7
From Sec - ond Av - e - nue.
A7 Em7 Edim D Fdim A7 D B7 E7/9 Fdim E E7
I'm wear - ing sec - ond hand shoes, sec - ond hand hose,
Em7 A7 cdim A7 Gdim G D Fdim D A7
All the girls hand me their sec - ond hand beaux.
D Fdim D Cdim Em7 A7
Even my pa - ja - mas when I don 'em
Em7 A7 G/B A7 Gdim D A7
Have some - bod - y el - se's 'ni - tials on 'em.
D Fdim A7 D B7 E7/9 Fdim E E7
Sec - ond hand rings, I'm sick of sec - ond hand things,
Am7 D9 Am7 D7 G6
I nev - er get what oth - er girl - ies do.
Em Cdim Em Am7 Em Cdim Em Gdim
Once while strol - ling through the Ritz a girl got my goat;
A7 D Edim Bm Bm7-5 D Edim E7 A7
She nudged her friend and said, "Oh, look there's my old fur coat!"
D Fdim A7 D B7 E7/9 Fdim E E7
Ev' - ry - one knows that I'm just Sec - ond Hand Rose
Em7 G/B A7 Gdim D A7 B7
From Sec - ond Av - e - nue,
Em7 G/B A7 Gdim D G D
From Sec - ond Av - e - nue,
