[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
