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)
