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)
