[D]
Way out in Reno, [A] Nevada, where the romances bloom [D] and fade,
There was a [G]
Philadelphia lawyer, [A] making love to a Hollywood [D] maid.
Some love and [G] wheels go rambling, [A]
down where the lights [D] are so bright,
I'll win you a [G] divorce from your husband, [A] and we can get married [D] tonight.
While Bill was a gun [G]-toting [A] cowhand, ten notches was carved on his [D] gun,
And all of the [G] boys around Reno, [A] left Bill's Hollywood sweetheart [D] alone.
One night when Bill [A] was returning, from riding the range in [D] the cold,
He thought of his [G] Hollywood sweetheart, [Am] her love was as [D] lasting as gold.
He drew near [A] to her window, two shadows he saw [D] on her shade,
Was the great [G] Philadelphia lawyer, [A] making love to Bill's [D] Hollywood maid.
It was as still as [A] a desert, the moon hanging high [D] overhead,
Bill listened a while [G] after the winter, [A] he could hear every word that [D] they said,
Your hands are so pretty [A] and lovely, your form is so rare and [D]
divine,
Come go back with [G] me to Philadelphia, [A] we'll leave this wild cowboy [D] behind.
Now tonight back in [G] old Pennsylvania, [A] amongst her beautiful [D] pines,
There's one less [G] Philadelphia lawyer, [A] in old Philadelphia [D] tonight.
