Way Cout in Reno, NevG7ada,
Where romance blooms and fCades,
A great Philadelphia Flawyer
Was in lCove with a HG7ollywood mCaid.
"CoCme, love, and weG7'll go ramblin'
¨ C
Down where the lights are so bright.
¨ F
I'll win you a divorce from your husband,¨
And we cCan get marriG7ed tonightC."¨
WilCd Bill was a gunG7-totin' cowboy,
¨ C
¨Ten notches were carved in his gun.¨
¨ F
And all the boys around Reno
¨Left WiCld Bill's maG7iden aloneC.
OneC night when BillG7 was returning¨
¨ C
From ridin' the range in the cold,¨
¨ F
He dreamed of his Hollywood sweetheart,
¨ C G7 C
Her love was as lasting as gold.
As Che drew near herG7 window,
¨¨ C
Two shadows he saw on the shade;¨'
¨ F
Twas the great Philadelphia lawyer
¨ C G7 C
Makin' love to Bill's Hollywood maid.
TheC night was as stG7ill as the desert,¨
¨ C
The moon hangin' high overhead.
¨ F
Bill listened awhile through the window,
¨ C G7 C
He could hear ev'ry word that he said:
"YoCur hands are so G7pretty and lovely,
¨¨ C
Your form's so rare and divine.¨
¨ F
Come go with me to the city¨
And leavCe this wild G7cowboy behCind."
NowC tonight back inG7 old Pennsylvania,
¨ C
Among those beautiful pines,
¨ F
There's one less Philadelphia lawyer
In old PChiladelphia G7tonight. C
