				BILLY THE KID
						by Chris LeDoux

[Am]In the southern part of Texas, east and [G]west of El Paso

Where the mighty Franklin Mountains guard the [Am]trail to Mexico.

There�s a new made widow cryin� and a [G]hurse a-rollin� slow,

And I [Em]guess that Devil�s passed this way a[Am]gain.


[Am]There�s a lathered sorrel stallion runnin� [G]through the Joshua Trees,

A young man in the saddle with his [Am]coat tails in the breeze.

Got a six gun on his right hip and a [G]rifle at his knee,

And he�s [Em]dealin� in a game that he can�t [Am]win.


CHORUS

[Am]Poor Billy Bonney, you�re [G]only twenty-one,

Pat Garrett�s got your name on every [Am]bullet in his gun.

Each notch you carved on your six-gun�s got a [G]bloody tale to tell

Well, you�re a mile ahead of Garrett and a [Em]step outside of [Am]hell.


[Am]Them fancy clothes you�re wearin� and the [G]women in your bed,

Can�t take away the faces of the [Am]men that you left dead.

As you ride across the badlands with a [G]price upon your head,

[Em]Now that wheel or fortune starts to [Am]turn.


[Am]Your reputation�s grown till it�s the [G]biggest in the land,

And there ain�t a lot of people left who [Am]wanna call your hand.

And I guess you�ll go down shootin� just [G]like all brand of men,

And when you [Em]shake hands with the Devil you get [Am]burned.
