Billy The Kid chords by Cowboy Songs

BILLY THE KID

Bill the Kid, who was born Henry McCarty, is probably the most famous
of all western gunfighters.  He did not acually kill the 21 men this
song credits him with however.  In the 16 documented gun-fights, he is
credited with the death of only four, and assisted through the course
of robberies, probably the death of another five.
