Way out in Reno, [G]
Nevada, where romance blooms and [C] fades, a great Philadelphia [F] lawyer [G] was
in love with a Hollywood [C] maid.
Come love and we will [G] wander down where the lights [C] are bright.
I'll win you a divorce from [F] your husband and [G] we can get married
[C] tonight.
Wild Bill was a gun-toting [G] cowboy, ten notches were carved in his [C]
gun, and all the boys [F] around
Reno left [G] Wild Bill's maiden [C]
alone.

One night when he was [G] returning from riding the reins in the [C] [Am] cold, he [C] dreamed of his Hollywood
[F] sweetheart.
Her [Gm] love was as lasting [C] as gold.
As he drew near her [G]
window, a shadow he saw on [C] the shade.
She was a great Philadelphia [F] lawyer, making [G] love to Bill's Hollywood [C] maid.
The night was as still as the [G] desert, the moon hanging high [C] overhead.
Bill listened a while to [F] the lawyer, he could [G] hear every word that [C] he said.
Your hands are so pretty [G] and lovely, your form so rare and [C] divine.
Come go with me to the [F] city, and [G] leave this wild cowboy [C] behind.
Right back in old [G] Pennsylvania, among those beautiful [C] pines.
There's one less Philadelphia [F] lawyer in [G] old Philadelphia tonight.
