  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)
