The Danville Girl chords by Barbara Dane

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

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  C  G  C G E A D7 G

Verse 5:
     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
