E MajorE
Billy Barlow was a poor boy
    D MajorD         A augmentedA      E MajorE
That's why he robbed the Union Grove Bank
     E MajorE
He was a sweet talking ladies man
D MajorD           A augmentedA       E MajorE
That's what he'd have ladies all to think

    D MajorD            A augmentedA             E MajorE
Oh the secret to a long life's knowing when it's time to go
    D MajorD            A augmentedA             E MajorE
Oh the secret to a long life's knowing when it's time to go

      E MajorE
So when the posse came riding
D MajorD     A augmentedA      E MajorE
Billy went hiding down south
       E MajorE
Holed up in a shack with Maria
     D MajorD         A augmentedA    E MajorE
With the black hair and her ruby red mouth

    D MajorD            A augmentedA             E MajorE
Oh the secret to a long life's knowing when it's time to go
    D MajorD            A augmentedA             E MajorE
Oh the secret to a long life's knowing when it's time to go

      E MajorE
So when the news reached her lover
D MajorD       A augmentedA        E MajorE
Billy ran for cover, don't you know
          E MajorE
Yeah, and when the bullets started ringing
D MajorD       A augmentedA        E MajorE
Billy started singing "Time to go..."

    D MajorD            A augmentedA             E MajorE
Oh the secret to a long life's knowing when it's time to go
    D MajorD            A augmentedA             E MajorE
Oh the secret to a long life's knowing when it's time to go


E MajorE   D MajorD   A augmentedA   E MajorE
Oh....Oh....Oh....Oh.....Time to go now!

E MajorE              D MajorD      A augmentedA    E MajorE
Billy headed north where the sands of the Badlands blow
      E MajorE
But in his dreams he's south
      D MajorD      A augmentedA    E MajorE
He's still kissing that ruby red mouth

    D MajorD            A augmentedA             E MajorE
Oh the secret to a long life's knowing when it's time to go
    D MajorD            A augmentedA             E MajorE
Oh the secret to a long life's knowing when it's time to go

E MajorE   D MajorD   A augmentedA   E MajorE
Oh....Oh....Oh....Oh..... (x3)

  D MajorD            A augmentedA             E MajorE
The secret to a long life's knowing when it's time to go
  D MajorD            A augmentedA             E MajorE
The secret to a long life's knowing when it's time to go

The secret to a long life's knowing when it's time to go
