F			 Bb
Billy ran around with the rare old crew
    F    C      F
And he knew an Arsenal from Tottenham blue
     F     Bb	    F   C
We'd be a darn sight better off if we knew
F 			Bb
Where Billy's bones are resting now

F               Bb
Billy saw a copper and he hit him in the knee
    F    C      F
And he took him down from six foot to five foot three
     F     Bb	    F   C
Then he hit him fair and square in the do-re-mi
F 			Bb
That copper won't be having any family

Bb				 F		    C
Hey Billy son where are you now, don't you know that we need you now
   F  Bb     F    C  F			 Bb
With aratata and the old kow-tow where are Billy's bones resting now

F			 Bb
Billy went away with the peace-keeping force
    F    C      F
'Cause he liked a bloody good fight of course
F     Bb	    F   C
Went away in an old khaki van
F 			Bb
to the banks of the river Jordan

F			 Bb
Billy saw the Arabs and he had 'em on the run
    F    C      F
When he got 'em in the range of his sub-machine gun
     F     Bb	    F   C
Then he had the Israelis in his sights,
F 			Bb
went a ra-ta-ta And they ran like Shiites

Bb				 F		    C
Hey Billy son where are you now, don't you know that we need you now
   F  Bb     F    C  F			 Bb
With aratata and the old kow-tow where are Billy's bones resting now

Intro Melody (2x)

Bb				 F		    C
Hey Billy son where are you now, don't you know that we need you now
   F  Bb     F    C  F			 Bb
With aratata and the old kow-tow where are Billy's bones resting now

F               Bb
One night Billy had a rare old time,
    F    C      F
Laughing and singing on the Lebanon line
     F     Bb	    F   C
Came back to camp not looking too pretty
F 			Bb
Never even got to see the Holy City

  F			   Bb
Now Billy's out there in the desert sun
    F		   C
And his mother cries when the morning comes
	  F	  Bb     F     C
And there's mothers crying all over this world
F 			Bb
For their poor dead darling boys and girls

Bb				 F		    C
Hey Billy son where are you now, don't you know that we need you now
   F  Bb     F    C  F			 Bb
With aratata and the old kow-tow where are Billy's bones resting now
