INTRO:
D7D7                      G+G
If you're listenin' Billy Christian, come on home.

CHORUS:
G+G                     C majorC
Are you listening Billy Christian, if you are

then go on home.
   D7D7                  G+G
Everything is like you left it, she spends all

her time alone.
G+G                    C majorC
All that music never thrills her like it did when

you were there.
   D7D7              G....Ab A augmentedA
Go on home, Billy Christian, if you care.

#2.
A augmentedA                   D MajorD
What a team they were together, Billy Christian

and his wife.
    E MajorE                  A augmentedA
People loved to hear them singin', that was their

success in life .
A augmentedA                    D MajorD
But the eyes of Billy Christian were the wild and

wandering kind.
   E MajorE                A....G
Now, Billy's wife sings solo all the time.

CHORUS:
G+G                     C majorC
Are you listening Billy Christian, if you are

then go on home.
   D7D7                  G+G
Everything is like you left it, she spends all

her time alone.
G+G                    C majorC
All that music never thrills her like it did when

you were there.
   D7D7              G....Ab A augmentedA
Go on home, Billy Christian, if you care.

#3.
A augmentedA                     D MajorD
All the fellows tried to date her but she never

blinked an eye.
   E MajorE                   A......G
Every night she sings the same sad song and cries.

BRIDGE:
G+G                   C majorC
Now, where is Billy Christian, does he ever hear

the song?
   D MajorD                 G+G
Does Billy Christian know he's welcome home?

CHORUS:
G+G                     C majorC
Are you listening Billy Christian, if you are

then go on home.
   D7D7                  G+G
Everything is like you left it, she spends all

her time alone.
G+G                    C majorC
All that music never thrills her like it did when

you were there.
   D7D7              G+G
Go on home, Billy Christian, if you care.


OUTRO:
   D7D7              G+G
Go on home, Billy Christian, if you care.
