Danny and my ponies Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D]

[Verse 1]
[D]Danny [C]laid back
[D]and surveyed the view
A king [C]on his bench, he was [D]cold, he was [G]blue
I [C]asked for permission to [D]give him [G]a note
[D]He [C]nodded, not movin',
[D]just scratched [G]at his throat

[Verse 2]
[C]Always smiled slightly,
[D]seemed so bemused
Like [C]he was the one who was [G]glad [D]to be [G]used
I [C]had a sense he was [D]playin' a part
But [C]I had to help, for he t[D]ore at my heart

[Verse 3]
He would walk, his [D]feet wrapped in [G]rags
He [D]wandered the neighborhood,
carry[G]ing his bags
[D]The pride in his eyes would so [G]clearly flash
Like [D]I was the one who n[G]eeded the cash

[Verse 4]
[G]
[D]The tramps in our England,
have [C]always to [G]walk
From [D]Philip to Dorchester,
fifteen [G]miles strong
[D]The tramps in our country have
no [G]where's to hope
Only [D]spirits give comfort,
there's [C]no time [D]to talk[G]

[Verse 5]
[C]Danny would [G]lay, he'd never speak
[C]Here was a man who had [G]attained his peak
[C]No fables to tell, [G]and nothing held back
[C]This was a man who had [G]led a strong path

[Verse 6]
[G]
Old [C]soldier, perhaps, [G]or a worn,
old jailbird
[C]Who'd never a hand clean
and [G]never a word
[C]For two hundred down,
my [G]project had fled
[C]Danny was gone,
or [G]may well have been dead

[Verse 7]
[D]He walked slowly, no hur[C]ryin' to dea[G]th
Took [D]in turn his view,
with his [C]very last [G]breath
The [D]river,
the mist [C]and the slightly grey [G]sky
[D]Danny was waiting, [C]patient to [G]die

[Verse 8]
[G]
[D]The tramps in our England,
have [C]always to [G]walk
From [D]Philip to Dorchester,
[C]fifteen miles [G]strong
[D]The tramps in our country have
[C]no where's [G]to hope
Only [D]spirits give comfort,
[C]there's no [G]time to talk

[Verse 9]
[G]Danny [C]laid back,
looked [G]down [D]and [G]the plain
The king [Em]on his bench
[C]with magnificen[G]t mane
I asked [C]his permission to
[D]give him a note
[C]He nodded, not movin',
[D]just scratched [G]at his throat

[Verse 10]
[G]
It's [D]dangerous to faction as
[C]those who live [G]rough
[D]Danny was a giant, [C]solid [G]and tough
He [D]al lowed me to gift him
[C]and scribble this [G]song
Without [D]me and my chorus,
he'd [C]live just as [G]long
