Tennessee Ernie Ford - Philadelphia Lawyer guitar chord

(D) Way out in Reno Ne-(A7) va-da

Where romance blooms and (D) fades

A great Philadel-(D7) phia (G) Lawyer

Was in (A7) love with a Hollywood (D) maid.

Come, Love, and we will wander

Out where the lights are bright

I'll win you a divorce from your husband

And we can get married tonight.

Now, Bill was a gun-totin' cowboy

Ten notches were carved on his gun

All the boys around Reno

Left wild Bill's maiden alone.

One night when he was returning

From riding the range in the cold

He dreamed of his Hollywood sweetheart

Her love was as lasting as gold.

As he drew near her window

A shadow he saw on the shade

Was the great Philadelphia Lawyer

Makin' love to his Hollywood maid.

The night was as still as the desert

The moon was bright overhead

Bill listened awhile to the lawyer

He could hear ev'ry word that he said.

"Your hands are so pretty and lovely

Your form so rare and divine -

Come, go with me to the city

And leave this wild cowboy behind."

Now back in old Pennsylvania

Among those beautiful pines

There's one less Philadelphia Lawyer

In old Philadelphia tonight.

TAG:

There's one less Philadelphia Lawyer

In old Philadelphia tonight.
