Ballad of Billy Joe McKay
By Shawn Mullins

Capo 4th

G9G9 - 320033
C9C9 - 032033
E minor 7Em7 - 022030
D MajorD - 000232

G9G9 - C9C9 - E minor 7Em7 - D MajorD - C9C9

(G9G9)My name's Billy Joe McKay
(C9C9)I just turned 16 yesterday
(E minor 7Em7) Gonna get the (D MajorD)nerve one day
to get (C9C9)outta here

progression repeats on verses throughout...

In between verses play the following:

E minorEm - D MajorD - C9C9

This is also the progression for the ending with the "Hey, I'm outta here"s

There are several hammer ons and pull offs throughout.  You can figure those out
for yourselves.  Sorry I can't give you more detail, but its really not that hard
of a song, but a great one.

Bob
