Philadelphia Lawyer Woody Guthrie



This is one of my favourite Guthrie tunes, and it is pretty simple. It should be very 
to transpose as well.

    C               G7
Way out in Reno, Nevada,

                          C
Where romance blooms and fades,

                      F
A great Philadelphia lawyer

        C           G7        C

Was in love with a Hollywood maid.				{eot}

"Come, love, and we'll go ramblin'
 Down where the lights are so bright.
 I'll win you a divorce from your husband, 
And we can get married tonight."

Wild Bill was a gun-totin' cowboy,
 Ten notches were carved in his gun. 
And all the boys around Reno
 Left Wild Bill's maiden alone.

One night when Bill was returning 
From ridin' the range in the cold, 
He dreamed of his Hollywood sweetheart,
 Her love was as lasting as gold.

As he drew near her window,
 Two shadows he saw on the shade; '
Twas the great Philadelphia lawyer
 Makin' love to Bill's Hollywood maid.

The night was as still as the desert, 
The moon hangin' high overhead.
Bill listened awhile through the window,
 He could hear ev'ry word that he said:

"Your hands are so pretty and lovely,
 Your form's so rare and divine. 
Come go with me to the city 
And leave this wild cowboy behind."

Now tonight back in old Pennsylvania,
 Among those beautiful pines,
 There's one less Philadelphia lawyer
 In old Philadelphia tonight.
