[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
