<h2>This is the chord progression of The Death Of Dora Hand by Frank Turner on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar and Keyboard.</h2>
<p>[Intro] C</p>
<p>[Verse 1]<br />
C F C<br />
Dora Hand was a singer in the New York operetta<br />
G<br />
Born into Boston old money, and Paristrained<br />
C F C<br />
Dressed in black, she was a classic beauty but cursed with constitution sickly<br />
G C<br />
She ventured West to breathe the fresh air on the Plains<br />
F C<br />
She ended up down in Dodge City, it was a cowtown, dry and ugly<br />
G<br />
She hid her past, took Fannie Keenan for a name<br />
C F C<br />
Took the stage as a Vaudeville singer at the Lady Gay and the Alhambra<br />
G C<br />
The cowboys loved her and she quickly rose to fame</p>
<p>[Chorus]<br />
F Dm<br />
Sing a song, boys, for Dora Hand<br />
C F<br />
She brought a little beauty to this hard and barren land<br />
Dm G<br />
Doff your caps, boys, though saved or damned<br />
C<br />
For Dora Hand</p>
<p>[Verse 2]<br />
C F C<br />
Now to the Dodge folk she was an Angel, they called her Lady Bountiful By day, and &#8220;Queen Of Fairy Belles&#8221;<br />
G<br />
by night<br />
C F C<br />
She was bringing in good money, so she gave plenty to the needy<br />
G C<br />
She sure could sing, but she sure knew her wrong from right<br />
F C<br />
Now lovely Dora, she took the fancy of that mayor, James Dog Kelley<br />
G<br />
Like many a man before him, he was heard to say<br />
C F C<br />
&#8220;That there Dora is a beautiful creature, she gives men a strange nostalgia<br />
G C<br />
Dreams of finer things and better days&#8221;</p>
<p>[Chorus]<br />
F Dm<br />
So sing a song, boys, for Dora Hand<br />
C F<br />
She brought a little beauty to this hard and barren land<br />
Dm G<br />
Dream a dream, boys, of a promised land<br />
C<br />
Of Dora Hand</p>
<p>[Bridge]<br />
Am Em<br />
Now young Spike Kennedy came up from Texas on a rolling black thunder cloud<br />
Dm Am<br />
He was a-whooping and a-whoring and a-drowning in whiskey like a one-man bad luck crowd<br />
Am Em<br />
One night he saw Dora singing at the Alhambra and he tried to slip the lady a kiss<br />
Dm Am<br />
Dog Kelley got angry and he knocked him on his belly with one flick of his Kansas wrist<br />
Dm Em Am G F<br />
Well now Spike, he got mad, he was looking out for blood, he was raging like the Devil&#8217;s stepson<br />
Dm Em Am G F<br />
He rode out to the cabin which the mayor used for napping on a horse with a loaded six-gun<br />
Dm Em Am G F<br />
He fired in the dark, but he didn&#8217;t hit his mark when the bullet went through that wall<br />
Dm Em Am G Am<br />
Kelley wasn&#8217;t in his bed, lying there in his stead, Dora Hand was killed</p>
<p>[Guitar Solo]<br />
C F C G C G C F C G F C G C</p>
<p>[Verse 3]<br />
C F C<br />
So the marshals, they raised a posse, and they caught up with young Spike Kenedy<br />
G<br />
His daddy bought him free, even though he confessed<br />
Am F C<br />
All Dodge City wept for Dora, every bar closed as they buried her<br />
G C<br />
Four hundred cowboys rode her to her rest</p>
<p>[Chorus]<br />
F Dm<br />
Sing a song, boys, with the funeral band<br />
C F<br />
We won&#8217;t see her like again in this hard and barren land<br />
Dm G<br />
Wave her off, boys, to no man&#8217;s land<br />
F<br />
Dora Hand<br />
C<br />
Our Dora Hand</p>
