Chords with lyrics

D MajorD        A minorAm
In the days of William Bonney
     D MajorD        A minorAm
Better known as Bill the Kid
  D MajorD         A minorAm
A augmentedA young cowboy named Joey Steele
   D MajorD
Was 'bout to make his bid

      D MajorD
Well, they heard one day
   A minorAm        D MajorD       A minorAm
That Bill the Kid had just rode into town
    D MajorD
And if he could take him
A minorAm      D MajorD
He would be fastest gun around

    D MajorD       A minorAm
He was just a kid of seventeen
    D MajorD       A minorAm
But he had a lightin' hand
    D MajorD         A minorAm
And he said it's time I showed the world
   D MajorD
That I've become a man

 D MajorD        A minorAm
Everyone thinks Billy is
   D MajorD      A minorAm
The fastest gun around
   D MajorD         A minorAm
But they will know I'm faster
      D MajorD
When they see me shoot him down

    G+G       FF
They finally came together
     G+G          FF
Down on Main Street just at five
   G+G        FF
The people were all gathered
      G+G
Wonderin' who'd be left alive

 G+G        FF
Billy knew that Joey wanted
 G+G       FF
Notches on his gun
    G+G          FF
And he wished that he could give him
       G+G
Those he'd carved upon his own

 D MajorD        A minorAm
Joey's hand went to his side
    D MajorD        A minorAm
He was sure that he had won
   D MajorD       A minorAm
But before he even fired he saw
   D MajorD
The smoke of Billy's gun

    D MajorD        A minorAm
And he felt the bullet hit him hard
   D MajorD        A minorAm
And before his eyes he saw
   D MajorD         A minorAm
His wasted life pass quickly
    D MajorD
Ending with this fatal draw

 D MajorD         A minorAm
Billy breathed more easily
    D MajorD       A minorAm
And he put away his gun
    D MajorD         A minorAm
And he tried to ease his conscience
     D MajorD
For the wrong that he had done

     D MajorD       A minorAm
Then he saddled up his horse
      D MajorD        A minorAm
And headed westward out of town
    D MajorD         A minorAm
And he wondered just how long he'd be
   D MajorD          A minorAm   D MajorD
The fastest gun around...(hold out for a while following the chords)
