Me and Billy the Kid never got along

I didn't like the way he cocked his hat and he wore his gun all wrong
   C
We had the same girlfriend and he never forgot it
          G
She had a cute little Chihuahua 'till one day I up and shot it
   D
We rode the hard country down the New Mexico line

He had  silver pocket watch that he never did wind

He crippled a piano player for playing his favorite song

G
Me and Billy the Kid never got along

I didn't like the way he parted his hair and he wore his gun all wrong
       C
He was bad to the bone all hopped up on speed
             G
I would have left alone if it wasn't for that senorita
   D
He gave her silver and he paid her hotel bill
           G
But it was me she loved and she said she always will
    D
I'd always go and see her when Billy was gone
    G
And me and Billy the Kid never got along


Verse 3:
G
Me and Billy the Kid never got along

I  didn't like the way he tied his shoes and he wore his gun all wrong

One day I said to Billy, "I got this foolproof scheme
      G
We'll rob Wells Fargo  it's busting at the seams"

I admit that I framed him but I don't feel bad

'Cause the way I was livin' was drivin' me mad
D
Billy reached for his gun but his gun was on wrong
    G
And me and Billy the Kid we never got along


Verse 4:

G
Me and Billy the Kid never got along

But I did like the way he swayed in the wind while I played him his favorite song
       C
Now my baby sings harmony with me to La Cucaracha
    G
She winds her silver pocket watch and pets her new Chihuahua
  D
I moved into the hotel got a room with a shower
   G
We lay and listen to that watch tick hour after hour
   D
Outside I hear the wind blowing on so strong
    G
And me and Billy the Kid we never got along

G
Never got along

He wasn't no good

Big time wrong

All night long

He'd been in the sun too long
