Ballad of Billy Joe McKay
By Shawn Mullins

Capo 4th

G9 - 320033
C9 - 032033
Em7 - 022030
D - 000232

G9 - C9 - Em7 - D - C9

(G9)My name's Billy Joe McKay
(C9)I just turned 16 yesterday
(Em7) Gonna get the (D)nerve one day
to get (C9)outta here

progression repeats on verses throughout...

In between verses play the following:

Em - D - C9

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.
