Billy The Kid Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[E][Tremolo] [E][Tremolo][E][E]

[Verse 1]
I'll [E]sing you a true song of [B]Billy the Kid
I'll [E]sing of some desperate deeds that he [B]did
Way [E]out in New Mexico [A]long long ago
When a [E]man's only chance
was his [B]own forty[E]four
[Em][Tremolo]

[Bridge 1]
When [Em]Billy the Kid was a [B]very young lad
In [Em]old Silver City he [B]went to the bad
Way [Em]out in the West with a g[Am]un in his hand
At the [Em]age of twelve years
he did [B]kill his first [Em]man
[E][Tremolo]

[Verse 2]
There's [E]Mexican maidens play gui[B]tars and sing
[E]Songs about Billy, their [B]boy bandit king
[E]'Ere his young manhood
has [A]reached his sad end
With a [E]notch on his pistol for [B]twenty one [E]men
[Em][Tremolo]

[Bridge 2]
Was [Em]on a sad night when po[B]or Billy died
He [Em]said to his friend, "I'm [B]not safisfied
There's [Em]twenty one men
I have [Am]put bullets through
[Em]Sheriff Pat Garrett must [B]make twenty [Em]two!"
[E][Tremolo]

[Verse 3]
I'll [E]sing you how Billy the [B]Kid met his fate
The [E]bright moon was shinin',
the [B]hour was late
Shot [E]down by Pat Garrett
who [A]once was his friend
The [E]young outlaw's life is now [B]come to an [E]end
[Em][Tremolo]

[Bridge 3]
There's [Em]many a man with a [B]face fine and fair
Who [Em]start out in life
with a [B]chance to be square
[Em]Just like poor Billy they [Am]wander astray
[Em]They'll lose their lives in the [B]very same way
[Em]
