The Danville Girl

	  		
Intro  C   G  E   A  D7  G 

 
Verse 1:
   G 
My pocket book was empty 
C                    G 
My heart was full of pain 
C              G        E 
10,000 miles a-way from home 
A                   D7 
 bumming a railroad train 
G 
 standing on the platform 
C                  G 
smoking a cheap ci-gar 
    C                 G            E 
And listening for the next freight train 
     A          D     G 
that carried an empty car 

Verse 2:
     G 
When I got off at Danville 
       C                    G 
I got stuck on the Danville girl 
        C                     G      E 
You can bet your life she was out of sight 
    A                   D7 
She wore those Danville pearls 
G 
Took me in her kitchen 
    C                   G 
and treated me nice and kind 
    C                 G   E 
and she got me in the not-ion 
   A       D       G 
of bumming all the time 

Instrumental

         G                    G7 
Well she wore her hair on the back of her head 
     C                    G 
like high tone people all do 
        C                      G        E 
But the very next train coming down the line 
  A            D 
I bid my girl adieu 
  G                  G7 
I pulled my cap down over my eyes 
C                  G 
Walked down to the track 
    C                    G     E 
And caught the very next empty car 
    A     D        G 
And never did look back
