Philadelphia Lawyer chords by
Cisco Houston
Cisco Houston
Woody Guthrie
Woody Guthrie

N/A
Verse 1
D
A

Way out in Reno, Nevada,
D

where the romances bloom and fade,
G

there was a Philadelphia lawyer
A
D

making love to a Hollywood maid.

Come, love, and we'll go rambling
A
D

Down where the lights are so bright
G

I'll win you a divorce from your husband
A
D

And we can get married tonight
A
D
A

While Bill was a gun -toting cow hand
D

Tim Notches was carved on his gun
G

And all of the boys around Reno
A
D

left Bill's Hollywood sweetheart alone.
A

One night when Bill was returning
D

from riding the range in the cold,

he thought of his Hollywood sweetheart,
G
A
D

her love was as lasting as gold.
A

As he drew near to her window,
D

two shadows he saw on her shade,
G

was the great Philadelphia lawyer,
A
D

making love to Bill's Hollywood name.
A
D
A

Night was as still as the desert,

and the moon hanging high overhead,
D
G

He'll listen a while after the winter,
A
D

he can hear every word that they said.
A

Your hands are so pretty and lovely,
D

and your form is so rare and divine.

Come go back with me to Philadelphia,
G
A
D

we'll leave this wild cowboy behind.

Now tonight,
A

back in old Pennsylvania,
D

amongst her beautiful pines,

there's one less Philadelphia lawyer
G
A
D

in old Philadelphia tonight.

  • Best Tuning App Ever

    MaddProfessor

    I've downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

  • Well-Designed App

    Rose the Black Cat

    I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

  • Got me back into playing

    Tuliketsune

    I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

  • Secret weapon

    Brad

    Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

  • Very reliable tuner

    theNewPaul

    This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!

  • This is the best guitar tuner ever.

    Caleb Schafli

    It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.

  • Great to tune and play

    Lynae T

    I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.
