[C#] [D]
Way down in Reno, [A] Nevada, where the romances bloom and they [D] fade,
Lived a great Philadelphia
[G] lawyer, [A] in love with a [D] Hollywood maid.
Come love, and we [A] will wander, down where the lights are [D] so bright,
Howling, you divorce from your [G] husband, and we can get married [D] tonight.
Now Bill was a gun [A]-potent cowboy, with ten notches carved [D] on his gun,
And all the boys [G] around Reno, [A] left while Bill's lover [D]
alone.
One night as Bill [A] was returning, from riding the range [D] in the cold,
He thought of his Hollywood [G]
sweetheart, [A] with the love as lasting [D] as gold.
As Bill drew near to [A] her window, two shadows he saw on the shade,
Was the great Philadelphia [G]
lawyer, [A] taking love to his Hollywood [D]
maid.
The night was as still as the desert, and the moon hanging high overhead,
Bill listened a while [G] at her window, [A] he could hear every word that [D] they said,
Your face is so pretty [A] and lovely, and your form [F#m] so rare [D] and defined,
Come dote me to [G] Philadelphia, [A] and leave this wild [A] cowboy [D] behind.
Well tonight down in old Pennsylvania, among those beautiful [D]
pines,
There's one last Philadelphia [G]
lawyer, [A] in old Philadelphia tonight.
Way down in Reno, [A] Nevada, where the romances bloom and they [D] fade,
Lived a great Philadelphia
[G] lawyer, [A] in love with a [D] Hollywood maid.
Come love, and we [A] will wander, down where the lights are [D] so bright,
Howling, you divorce from your [G] husband, and we can get married [D] tonight.
