Charlie Hodgson - Girl In Illinois
Misc Unsigned Bands
Girl in Illinois
The Bandy Tract

1/2 step down tuning

Capo 1 

          x2

Gallops and gunshots
Sounds that warn me that I got
To end this robbery and hit the bricks
Bags of cash in my hand
On the road once again
At least till I need another fix
Now for me there's a bounty
So I fled to Cook County
I'll lay low and just keep to my own
But in a town called Barrington
At a bar drinking my cares again
A girl walked in and shook me to the bone

I've eluded lawmen from San Fran to Long Island
Shot the few that I couldn't avoid
Wanted in all states, thought this life would seal my fate
But I was brought down by a girl in Illinois

I kept my cool but barely
Her eyes like two blueberries
Her smile shined like the chrome of my gun
Could have been the whiskey 
But one look had me tipsy
And I felt myself falling for this one
I broke rule one of my code
Commit only to the road
But this girl was more than worth the risk
Before long she took me in
And we wrote a happy ending
To this outlaw life I could never resist

I've eluded lawmen from San Fran to Long Island
Shot the few that I couldn't avoid
Wanted in all states, thought this life would seal my fate
But I was brought down by a girl in Illinois 

One morning I awoke in bed
To a gun pointed at my head
It seems I misread this situation
She said she planned it all along
Needed the bounty to help her mom
Who is sick and couldn't afford the medicine
Yeah that's sweet but now I sit
In a prison but I must admit
I think about that girl every minute
I dropped my guard, loves my excuse
Tomorrow I will face the noose
And hopefully one last time the girl that put me in it (The girl that put me in)

I've eluded lawmen from San Fran to Long Island
Shot the few that I couldn't avoid
Wanted in all states, thought this life would seal my fate
But I was brought down by a girl in Illinois
I was brought down by a girl in Illinois
I was brought down by a girl in Illinois-oy-oy
I was brought down by a girl in Illinois
