Reno Blues Merle Haggard / Willie Nelson
[Verse]
D A
Way out in Reno, Ne-vada
A D
Where romance blooms and fades
D D7 G
A great Phila-delphia lawyer
A D
Was in love with a Hollywood maid
[Verse]
D A
"Come, love, and we will wander
A D
"Down where the lights are bright
D D7 G
"I'll win you a divorce from your husband
A D
"And we can get married to-night."
[Verse]
D A
Wild Bill was a gun-totin' cowboy
A D
Ten notches were carved in his gun
D D7 G
An' all the boys around Reno
A D
Left Wild Bill's maiden a-lone
[Verse]
D A
One night when he was re-turning
A D
From ridin' the range in the cold
D D7 G
He dreamed of his Hollywood sweetheart
A D
Her love was as lasting as gold
[Verse]
D A
As he grew near her window
A D
A shadow he saw on the shade
D D7 G
'Twas the great Phila-delphia lawyer
A D
Makin' love to Bill's Hollywood maid
[Verse]
D A
The night was as still as the desert
A D
And the moon hangin' high over-head
D D7 G
Bill listened a while to the lawyer
A D
He could hear ev'ry word that they said
[Verse]
D A
"Your hands are so pretty and lovely
A D
"Your form's so rare and divine
D D7 G
"Come go with me to the city
A D
"And leave this wild cowboy be-hind."
[Verse]
D A
Now back in old Pennsyl-vania
A D
Among the beautiful pines
D D7 G
There's one less Phila-delphia lawyer
A D
In old Philadelphia to-night
