Misc Originals – Charlie Hodgson - Girl In Illinois (Guitar)

C
Gallops and gunshots

Am
Sounds that warn me that I got

   G              F             C
To end this robbery and hit the bricks

C
Bags of cash in my hand

Am
On the road once again

   G           F             C
At least till I need another fix

C
Now for me there's a bounty

Am
So I fled to Cook County

   G              F             C
I'll lay low and just keep to my own

C
But in a town called Barrington

Am
At a bar drinking my cares again

   G                  F               C
A girl walked in and shook me to the bone

F             C          G                Am
I've eluded lawmen from San Fran to Long Island

F                 C            G
Shot the few that I couldn't avoid

F          C                   G                   Am
Wanted in all states, thought this life would seal my fate

          F                  G           C
But I was brought down by a girl in Illinois

C
I kept my cool but barely

Am
Her eyes like two blueberries

   G              F             C
Her smile shined like the chrome of my gun

C
Could have been the whiskey 

Am
But one look had me tipsy

       G           F               C
And I felt myself falling for this one

C
I broke rule one of my code

Am
Commit only to the road

   G              F             C
But this girl was more than worth the risk

C
Before long she took me in

Am
And we wrote a happy ending

         G            F             C
To this outlaw life I could never resist

F             C          G                Am
I've eluded lawmen from San Fran to Long Island

F                 C            G

F          C                   G                   Am

          F                  G           C
But I was brought down by a girl in Illinois 

C
One morning I awoke in bed

Am
To a gun pointed at my head

    G         F               C
It seems I misread this situation

C
She said she planned it all along

Am
Needed the bounty to help her mom

   G           F             C
Who is sick and couldn't afford the medicine

C
Yeah that's sweet but now I sit

Am
In a prison but I must admit

   G              F             C
I think about that girl every minute

C
I dropped my guard, loves my excuse

Am
Tomorrow I will face the noose

    G                           G                            C7
And hopefully one last time the girl that put me in it (The girl that put me in)

F             C          G                Am

      F                  G           Am
I was brought down by a girl in Illinois-oy-oy
