Way out in Reno Neva-da
C
Where romance blooms and fades
F
A great Philadelphia lawyer
G7
C
Was in love with a Hollywood maid
G7
Come love and we will wander
C
Out where the lights are bright
F
I’ll win you a divorce from your husband
G7
C
And we can get married tonight
G7
Now Bill was a gun-toting cowboy
C
Ten notches were carved on his gun
F
All the boys around Reno
G7
C
Left wild Bill’s maiden alone
G7
One night when he was returning
C
From riding the range in the cold
F
He dreamed of his Hollywood sweetheart
G7
C
Her love was as lasting as gold
G7
As he drew near her window
C
A shadow he saw on the shade
F
Was the great Philadelphia lawyer
G7
C
Making love to his Hollywood maid
G7
The night was as still as the desert
C
The moon was bright overhead
F
Bill listened awhile to the lawyer
G7
C
He could hear every word that he said
G7
Your hands are so pretty and lovely
C
Your form so rare and divine
F
Come go with me to the city
G7
C
And leave this wild cowboy behind
G7
Now back in old Pennsylvania
C
Among those beautiful pines
F
There’s one less Philadelphia lawyer
G7
C
In old Philadelphia tonight
F
There’s one less Philadelphia lawyer
G7
C
In old Philadelphia tonight
