Philadelphia Lawyer Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]Way out in Reno, [A]Nevada,
where the romances bloom an[D]d fade,
there was a Philadelphia [G]lawyer
making [A]love to a Hollywood [D]maid.
Come, love, and we'll go rambling
[A]Down where the lights are so [D]bright
I'll win you a divorce from your hus[G]band
And [A]we can get married to[D]night
While Bill was a gun -toting [A]cow[D] ha[A]nd
Tim Notches was carved on his [D]gun
And all of the boys around [G]Reno
left Bill's [A]Hollywood sweetheart [D]alone.
One night when Bill was return[A]ing
from riding the range in the [D]cold,
he thought of his Hollywood sweetheart,
[G]her lov[A]e was as lasting as gol[D]d.
As he drew near to her [A]window,
two shadows he saw on [D]her shade,
was the great Philadelphia lawyer[G],
making [A]love to Bill's Hollywood [D]name.
Night [A]was [D]as still as the [A]desert,
and the moon hanging high overhead,
[D]He'll listen a while after the winter,[G]
he can [A]hear every word that they [D]said.
Your hands are so pretty and [A]lovely,
and your form is so rare and di[D]vine.
Come go back with me to Philadelphia,
[G]we'll lea[A]ve this wild cowboy behin[D]d.
Now tonight,
back in old [A]Pennsylvania,
amongst her beautiful [D]pines,
there's one less Philadelphia lawyer
[G]in [A]old Philadelphia [D]tonight.
