Key: Bbm Tuning: E A D G B E Intro: Am Verse 1: Am G Am A young cowboy named Billy Joe grew restless on the farm G Am A boy filled with wonderlust who meant nobody harm F He changed his clothes and he shined his boots F And combed his dark hair down Am And his mother cried as he walked out Refrain: F Am "Don't take your guns to town son F Am Leave your guns at home, Bill F Am Don't take your guns to town"
Verse 2: Am He laughed and kissed his mom G Am And said, "Your Billy Joe's a man G Am I can shoot as quick and as straight as anybody can F But I wouldn't shoot without a cause F I'd gun nobody down," Am But she cried again as he rode away Refrain: F Am "Don't take your guns to town son F Am Leave your guns at home, Bill F Am Don't take your guns to town" Verse 3: Am He sang a song as on he rode G Am His guns hung at his hips Am He rode into a cattle town G Am A smile upon his lips F He stopped and walked into a bar F Laid his money down Am But his mother's words echoed again Refrain: F Am "Don't take your guns to town son F Am Leave your guns at home, Bill F Am Don't take your guns to town" Verse 4: Am G Am He drank his first strong liquor then to calm his shaking hand G Am Tried to tell himself at last he had become a man F Dusty cowpoke at his side began to laugh him down Am And he heard again his mother's words: Refrain: F Am "Don't take your guns to town son F Am Leave your guns at home, Bill F Am Don't take your guns to town" Verse 5: Am G Am Filled with rage then, Billy Joe reached for his gun to draw Am But the stranger drew his gun and fired G Am Before he even saw F As Billy Joe fell to the floor F The crowd all gathered 'round Am And wondered at his final words Refrain: F Am "Don't take your guns to town son F Am Leave your guns at home, Bill F Am Don't take your guns to town" Outro: Am
