[Verse]
G Am7/G G
There's guns across the river about to pound you,
G Am7/G G
There's lawmen on your trail like to surround you,
C G
Bounty hunters are dancing all around you,
D G
Billy, they don't like you to be so free.
G Am7/G G
Living out all night on the veranda,
G Am7/G G
Walking in the streets down by the hacienda,
C G
Up to Boot Hill they'd like to send you,
D G
Billy, don't you turn your back on me.
G Am7/G G
Playing around with some sweet senorita,
G Am7/G G
Into her dark chamber she will greet you,
C G
In the shadows of the mesas she will lead you,
D G
Billy, and you're going all alone.
G Am7/G G
They say that Pat Garrett's got your number,
G Am7/G G
So sleep with one eye open when you slumber,
C G
Every little sound just might be thunder,
D G
Thunder from the barrel of his gun.

G Am7/G G Am7/G G Am7/G G D Am7/G
G Am7/G G
There's always another stranger sneaking glances,
G Am7/G G
Some trigger-happy fool willing to take chances,
C G
Some old w***e from San Pedro will make advances,
D G
Advances on your spirit and your soul.
G Am7/G G
So hang on to your woman if you got one,
G Am7/G G
Remember in El Paso once you shot one,
C G
Yeah and up in Santa Fe one time you bought one,
D G
Billy, you've been running for so long.
G Am7/G G
Gypsy queens will play your grand finale,
G Am7/G G
Way down in some Tularosa alley,
C G
Maybe in La Rio Pecos valley,
D G
Billy, you're so far away from home,
D G
Billy, you're so far away from home.
