Chords with lyrics

Intro:
D MajorD D5D5

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


Verse 2:
C majorC              G+G
Always smiled slightly, seemed so bemused
C majorC               G+G
Like he was the one, who was glad to be used
C majorC           G+G
I had a sense he was playin' a part
C majorC             G+G
But I had to help, for he tore at my heart

Bridge:
D MajorD          C majorC
He would walk, his feet wrapped in rags
D MajorD                C majorC
He wandered the neighborhood, carrying his bags
D MajorD          C majorC
The pride in his eyes would so clearly flash
D MajorD          C majorC
Like I was the one who needed the cash


Chorus:
D MajorD                C majorC     G+G
The tramps in our England, have always to walk
D MajorD                C majorC     G+G
From Philip to Dorchester, fifteen miles strong
D MajorD                C majorC      G+G
The tramps in our country have no where's to hug
D MajorD                C majorC        G+G
Home hysterics give comfort, there's no time to talk


Verse 3:
C majorC         G+G
Danny would lay, he'd never speak
C majorC         G+G
Here was a man who had attained his peak
C majorC            G+G
No fables to tell, and nothing held back
C majorC            G+G
This was a man who had led a strong path

Verse 4:
C majorC             G+G
Old soldier, perhaps, or a worn, old jailbird
C majorC              G+G
Who'd never a hand clean and never a word
C majorC              G+G
For two hundred down, my project had fled
C majorC            G+G
Danny was gone, or may well have been dead


Bridge:
D MajorD          C majorC
He walked slowly, no hurryin' to death
D MajorD                C majorC
Took in turn his view, with his very last breath
D MajorD          C majorC
The river, the mist and the slightly grey sky
D MajorD          C majorC
Danny was waiting, patient to die


Chorus:
D MajorD                C majorC     G+G
The tramps in our England, have always to walk
D MajorD                C majorC     G+G
From Philip to Dorchester, fifteen miles strong
D MajorD                C majorC      G+G
The tramps in our country have no where's to hug
D MajorD                C majorC        G+G
Home hysterics give comfort, there's no time to talk


Verse 5:
C majorC            G+G
Danny laid back, looked down and the plain
C majorC              G+G
The king on his bench with magnificent mane
C majorC             G+G
I asked his permission to give him a note
C majorC              G+G
He nodded, not movin', just scratched at his throat


Verse 6:
D MajorD            C majorC
It's dangerous to faction as those who live rough
D MajorD          C majorC
Danny was a giant, solid and tough
D MajorD                C majorC
He allowed me to gift him and scribble this song
D MajorD              C majorC        G+G
Without bein' draconian, he lived just as long
