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
