[Verse 1]
G# C# G#
Dora Hand was a singer in the New York operetta
D#
Born into Boston old money, and Paristrained
G# C# G#
Dressed in black, she was a classic beauty but cursed with constitution sickly
D# G#
She ventured West to breathe the fresh air on the Plains
C# G#
She ended up down in Dodge City, it was a cowtown, dry and ugly
D#
She hid her past, took Fannie Keenan for a name
G# C# G#
Took the stage as a Vaudeville singer at the Lady Gay and the Alhambra
D# G#
The cowboys loved her and she quickly rose to fame
[Chorus]
C# A#m
Sing a song, boys, for Dora Hand
G# C#
She brought a little beauty to this hard and barren land
A#m D#
Doff your caps, boys, though saved or damned
G#
For Dora Hand
[Verse 2]
G# C# G#
Now to the Dodge folk she was an Angel, they called her Lady Bountiful By day, and "Queen Of Fairy Belles"
D#
by night
G# C# G#
She was bringing in good money, so she gave plenty to the needy
D# G#
She sure could sing, but she sure knew her wrong from right
C# G#
Now lovely Dora, she took the fancy of that mayor, James Dog Kelley
D#
Like many a man before him, he was heard to say
G# C# G#
"That there Dora is a beautiful creature, she gives men a strange nostalgia
D# G#
Dreams of finer things and better days"
[Chorus]
C# A#m
So sing a song, boys, for Dora Hand
G# C#
She brought a little beauty to this hard and barren land
A#m D#
Dream a dream, boys, of a promised land
G#
Of Dora Hand
[Bridge]

Now young Spike Kennedy came up from Texas on a rolling black thunder cloud
A#m Fm
He was a-whooping and a-whoring and a-drowning in whiskey like a one-man bad luck crowd
Fm Cm
One night he saw Dora singing at the Alhambra and he tried to slip the lady a kiss
A#m Fm
Dog Kelley got angry and he knocked him on his belly with one flick of his Kansas wrist
A#m Cm Fm D# C#
Well now Spike, he got mad, he was looking out for blood, he was raging like the Devil's stepson
A#m Cm Fm D# C#
He rode out to the cabin which the mayor used for napping on a horse with a loaded six-gun
A#m Cm Fm D# C#
He fired in the dark, but he didn't hit his mark when the bullet went through that wall
A#m Cm Fm D# Fm
Kelley wasn't in his bed, lying there in his stead, Dora Hand was killed
[Guitar Solo]

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