There's guns across the river about to pound you,

There's lawmen on your trail like to surround you,
C majorC               G+G
Bounty hunters are dancing all around you,

Billy, they don't like you to be so free.

Living out all night on the veranda,
G+G       Am7/GAm7/G        G+G
Walking in the streets down by the hacienda,
C majorC               G+G
Up to Boot Hill they'd like to send you,
D MajorD                 G+G
Billy, don't you turn your back on me.

Playing around with some sweet senorita,
G+G          Am7/GAm7/G   G+G
Into her dark chamber she will greet you,
C majorC                  G+G
In the shadows of the mesas she will lead you,
D MajorD              G+G
Billy, and you're going all alone.

G+G             Am7/GAm7/G   G+G
They say that Pat Garrett's got your number,
G+G           Am7/GAm7/G     G+G
So sleep with one eye open when you slumber,
C majorC                G+G
Every little sound just might be thunder,
D MajorD               G+G
Thunder from the barrel of his gun.

G+G           Am7/GAm7/G       G+G
There's always another stranger sneaking glances,
G+G         Am7/GAm7/G        G+G
Some trigger-happy fool willing to take chances,
C majorC                   G+G
Some old w***e from San Pedro will make advances,
D MajorD                G+G
Advances on your spirit and your soul.

G+G         Am7/GAm7/G    G+G
So hang on to your woman if you got one,
G+G      Am7/GAm7/G      G+G
Remember in El Paso once you shot one,
C majorC                  G+G
Yeah and up in Santa Fe one time you bought one,

Billy, you've been running for so long.

G+G         Am7/GAm7/G      G+G
Gypsy queens will play your grand finale,
G+G        Am7/GAm7/G  G+G
Way down in some Tularosa alley,
C majorC           G+G
Maybe in La Rio Pecos valley,
D MajorD               G+G
Billy, you're so far away from home,
D MajorD               G+G
Billy, you're so far away from home.
