Billy The Kid Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D][C][G]

[Verse 1]
Well I'll sing you [G]a
true song of Billy the Kid
[D]I'll sing you a record of deeds that he
[G]Way down in New Mexico,
a long time [D]ago,
when a man's only friend
was his own [G]44.
Now when Billy the Kid
was a very young man,
[D]in old Silver City, he went to the [G]band,
way out west.
With a knife [D]in his hand,
at the age of twelve years,
he killed his first [G]man[D][G]
[C][D][G]
They're Mexican maidens
who play guitars and sing
[D]Songs about Billy, the boy bandit king
[G]Before his young manhood
had reached its [C]sad [D]end
He'd a notch in his pistol
box when he [G]woke
It was on one black night that poor Billy died
[D]He said to his friends,
I'm not sat[G]isfied
There's 21 men that I've
[C]put bullet[D]s through
And Sheriff Pat [G]Garrett's
gonna [D]make [G]22[D][G][C][D]
[G][G]
Yeah, let's hear it up!
