Guitar chords with lyrics

Intro:
D  D5

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


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

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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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