Intro

[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 Am
Sing a song, boys, for Dora Hand
G C
She brought a little beauty to this hard and barren land
Am 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 Am
So sing a song, boys, for Dora Hand
G C
She brought a little beauty to this hard and barren land
Am D
Dream a dream, boys, of a promised land
G
Of Dora Hand
[Bridge]
Em Bm
Now young Spike Kennedy came up from Texas on a rolling black thunder cloud
Am Em
He was a-whooping and a-whoring and a-drowning in whiskey like a one-man bad luck crowd
Em Bm
One night he saw Dora singing at the Alhambra and he tried to slip the lady a kiss
Am Em
Dog Kelley got angry and he knocked him on his belly with one flick of his Kansas wrist
Am Bm Em D C
Well now Spike, he got mad, he was looking out for blood, he was raging like the Devil's stepson
Am Bm Em D C
He rode out to the cabin which the mayor used for napping on a horse with a loaded six-gun
Am Bm Em D C
He fired in the dark, but he didn't hit his mark when the bullet went through that wall
Am Bm Em D Em
Kelley wasn't in his bed, lying there in his stead, Dora Hand was killed
[Guitar Solo]
G C G D G D G C G D C G D G
[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
Em 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 Am
Sing a song, boys, with the funeral band
G C
We won't see her like again in this hard and barren land
Am D
Wave her off, boys, to no man's land
C
Dora Hand
G
