Way [C] out in Reno, Ne-[G7]vada,
Where romance blooms and [C] fades,
A great Philadelphia [F] lawyer
Was in [C] love with a [G7] Hollywood [C] maid.
"Come, [C] love, and we'll go [G7] ramblin'
Down where the lights are so [C] bright.
I'll win you a divorce from your [F] husband,
And [C] we can get [G7] married to-[C]night."
Wild [C] Bill was a gun-totin' [G7] cowboy,
Ten notches were carved on his [C] gun.
And all the boys around [F] Reno
Left [C] Wild Bill's [G7] maiden a-[C]lone.
One [C] night when Bill was re-[G7]turning
From ridin' the range in the [C] cold,
He dreamed of his Hollywood [F] sweetheart,
Her [C] love was as [G7] lasting as [C] gold.
As [C] he drew near her [G7] window,
Two shadows he saw on the [C] shade;
Twas the great Philadelphia [F] lawyer
Makin' [C] love to Bill's [G7] Hollywood [C] maid.
The [C] night was as still as the [G7] desert,
The moon hangin' high over-[C]head.
Bill listened a while through the [F] window,
He could [C] hear ev'ry [G7] word that they [C] said:
"Your [C] hands are so pretty and [G7] lovely,
Your form is so rare and di-[C]vine.
Come go with me to the [F] city
And [C] leave this wild [G7] cowboy be-[C]hind."
Now to-[C] night back in old Pennsyl-[G7]vania,
Among those beautiful [C] pines,
There's one less Philadelphia [F] lawyer
In [C] old Phila-[G7]delphia to-[C]night.
