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)
