Intro 1
(D major)
Verse 1
(D major) Danny (C major) laid back
and surveyed (D major) the view
A king (C major) on his bench, he was (D major) cold, he was (G major) blue
I (C major) asked for permission to (D major) give him a note (G major)
(D major) He nodded, (C major) not movin',
just scratched (D major) (G major) at his throat

Verse 2
(C major) Always smiled slightly,
(D major) seemed so bemused
Like (C major) he was the one who was (G major) glad (D major) to be (G major) used
I (C major) had a sense he was (D major) playin' a part
But (C major) I had to help, for he (D major) tore at my heart
Verse 3
He would walk, his (D major) feet wrapped in (G major) rags
He (D major) wandered the neighborhood,
carry (G major) ing his bags
The pride (D major) in his eyes would so clearly (G major) flash
Like (D major) I was the one who (G major) needed the cash
Verse 4
(G major)
(D major) The tramps in our England,
have (C major) always to (G major) walk
From (D major) Philip to Dorchester,
fifteen (G major) miles strong
The tramps (D major) in our country have
no where's (G major) to hope
Only (D major) spirits give comfort,
there's (C major) no time (D major) to talk (G major)
Verse 5
(C major) Danny would lay, (G major) he'd never speak
(C major) Here was a man who had (G major) attained his peak
(C major) No fables to tell, and nothing (G major) held back
(C major) This was a man who had (G major) led a strong path
Verse 6
(G major)
Old (C major) soldier, perhaps, or a (G major) worn,
old jailbird
(C major) Who'd never a hand clean
and (G major) never a word
For two (C major) hundred down,
my (G major) project had fled
(C major) Danny was gone,
or may well (G major) have been dead
Verse 7
(D major) He walked slowly, no (C major) hurryin' to (G major) death
Took (D major) in turn his view,
with his (C major) very last breath (G major)
The (D major) river,
the mist and the slightly (C major) grey sky (G major)
(D major) Danny was waiting, (C major) patient to (G major) die
Verse 8
(G major)
The tramps (D major) in our England,
have (C major) always to (G major) walk
From (D major) Philip to Dorchester,
(C major) fifteen miles (G major) strong
The tramps (D major) in our country have
(C major) no where's to (G major) hope
Only (D major) spirits give comfort,
there's (C major) no (G major) time to talk
Verse 9
(G major) Danny (C major) laid back,
looked (G major) down (D major) and the plain (G major)
The king on (E minor) his bench
(C major) with magnificent (G major) mane
I asked (C major) his permission to
(D major) give him a note
He nodded, (C major) not movin',
just scratched (D major) (G major) at his throat
Verse 10
(G major)
It's (D major) dangerous to faction as
(C major) those who live (G major) rough
(D major) Danny was a giant, (C major) solid (G major) and tough
He (D major) al lowed me to gift him
and scribble (C major) this song (G major)
Without (D major) me and my chorus,
he'd (C major) live just as (G major) long
Danny and my ponies
