[Verse 1]
C# F# C#
Dora Hand was a singer in the New York operetta
G#
Born into Boston old money, and Paristrained
C# F# C#
Dressed in black, she was a classic beauty but cursed with constitution sickly
G# C#
She ventured West to breathe the fresh air on the Plains
F# C#
She ended up down in Dodge City, it was a cowtown, dry and ugly
G#
She hid her past, took Fannie Keenan for a name
C# F# C#
Took the stage as a Vaudeville singer at the Lady Gay and the Alhambra
G# C#
The cowboys loved her and she quickly rose to fame
[Chorus]
F# D#m
Sing a song, boys, for Dora Hand
C# F#
She brought a little beauty to this hard and barren land
D#m G#
Doff your caps, boys, though saved or damned
C#
For Dora Hand
[Verse 2]
C# F# C#
Now to the Dodge folk she was an Angel, they called her Lady Bountiful By day, and "Queen Of Fairy Belles"
G#
by night
C# F# C#
She was bringing in good money, so she gave plenty to the needy
G# C#
She sure could sing, but she sure knew her wrong from right
F# C#
Now lovely Dora, she took the fancy of that mayor, James Dog Kelley
G#
Like many a man before him, he was heard to say
C# F# C#
"That there Dora is a beautiful creature, she gives men a strange nostalgia
G# C#
Dreams of finer things and better days"
[Chorus]
F# D#m
So sing a song, boys, for Dora Hand
C# F#
She brought a little beauty to this hard and barren land
D#m G#
Dream a dream, boys, of a promised land
C#
Of Dora Hand
[Bridge]
A#m Fm
Now young Spike Kennedy came up from Texas on a rolling black thunder cloud
D#m A#m
He was a-whooping and a-whoring and a-drowning in whiskey like a one-man bad luck crowd
A#m Fm
One night he saw Dora singing at the Alhambra and he tried to slip the lady a kiss
D#m A#m
Dog Kelley got angry and he knocked him on his belly with one flick of his Kansas wrist
D#m Fm A#m G# F#
Well now Spike, he got mad, he was looking out for blood, he was raging like the Devil's stepson
D#m Fm A#m G# F#
He rode out to the cabin which the mayor used for napping on a horse with a loaded six-gun
D#m Fm A#m G# F#
He fired in the dark, but he didn't hit his mark when the bullet went through that wall
D#m Fm A#m G# A#m
Kelley wasn't in his bed, lying there in his stead, Dora Hand was killed
[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]
C# F# C#
So the marshals, they raised a posse, and they caught up with young Spike Kenedy
G#
His daddy bought him free, even though he confessed
A#m F# C#
All Dodge City wept for Dora, every bar closed as they buried her
G# C#
Four hundred cowboys rode her to her rest
[Chorus]
F# D#m
Sing a song, boys, with the funeral band
C# F#
We won't see her like again in this hard and barren land
D#m G#
Wave her off, boys, to no man's land
F#
Dora Hand
