Subject: Lyrics/Chords: "Girl On the Billboard"

The Girl on the Billboard
(as recorded by Del Reeves)

Key: D

D D
Doo da doo doo doo A doo da doo doo doo

D
Who is the girl wearing nothing but a smile
D
and a towel in the picture on the billboard
D A7 D
in the field near the big old highway?

A7
Rolling down the highway in my Jimmy hauling freight
A7 D
from Chicago to St. Louis Lord I see her every day

D
A double clutching weasel like me can hardly ever
D7 G
get a girl to look at him that way

G D
Smiling like the girl wearing nothing but a smile
D
and a towel in the picture on the billboard
A7 D
in the field near the big old highway

D
Wow what a girl wearing nothing but a smile
D
and a towel in the picture on the billboard
D A7
in the field near the big old highway

A7
I bet it wouldn't take her very long to be gone
A7 D
if someone would pull a dirty trick and take her towel away

D
I slow my Jimmy down to 20 that's how many wrecks
D7 G
I see there every day

G D
Caused by the girl wearing nothing but a smile
D D
and a towel in the picture on the billboard
D A7 D
in the field near the big old highway

D D
A doo da doo doo doo A doo da doo doo doo

D
Oh I love the girl wearing nothing but a smile
D
and a towel in the picture on the billboard
D A7
in the field near the big old highway

A7
I guess I'm getting bolder
A7
'cause I'd rather kiss and hold her
D
than just keep a lookin' at her everyday

D D7
At 4:45 coffee drinking eating time Jimmy shimmies
D7 G
while I wake up the artist who painted the display

G D
Of the girl wearing nothing but a smile
D
and a towel in the picture on the billboard
A7 D
in the field near the big old highway

D
Doggone that girl wearing nothing but a smile

and a towel in the picture on the billboard
A7
in the field near the big old highway

A
Sleepy headed painter said the girl wasn't real
A7 D
Better get the (&*%$) on my way

D
On Route 66 from the billboard to Chicago
D7
You'll find tiny pieces of my heart scattered every which-a way

G D
Scattered by the girl wearing nothing but a smile
D
and a towel in the picture on the billboard
A7 D
in the field near the big old highway

D D
A doo da doo doo doo A doo da doo doo doo
D D
Dee da dee dee doo Doo da doo doo doo....(fade)
