D Am
In the days of William Bonney
D Am
Better known as Bill the Kid
D Am
A young cowboy named Joey Steele
D
Was 'bout to make his bid
D
Well, they heard one day
Am D Am
That Bill the Kid had just rode into town
D
And if he could take him
Am D
He would be fastest gun around
D Am
He was just a kid of seventeen
D Am
But he had a lightin' hand
D Am
And he said it's time I showed the world
D
That I've become a man
D Am
Everyone thinks Billy is
D Am
The fastest gun around
D Am
But they will know I'm faster
D
When they see me shoot him down
G F
They finally came together
G F
Down on Main Street just at five
G F
The people were all gathered
G
Wonderin' who'd be left alive
G F
Billy knew that Joey wanted
G F
Notches on his gun
G F
And he wished that he could give him
G
Those he'd carved upon his own
D Am
Joey's hand went to his side
D Am
He was sure that he had won
D Am
But before he even fired he saw
D
The smoke of Billy's gun
D Am
And he felt the bullet hit him hard
D Am
And before his eyes he saw
D Am
His wasted life pass quickly
D
Ending with this fatal draw
D Am
Billy breathed more easily
D Am
And he put away his gun
D Am
And he tried to ease his conscience
D
For the wrong that he had done
D Am
Then he saddled up his horse
D Am
And headed westward out of town
D Am
And he wondered just how long he'd be
D Am D
The fastest gun around...(hold out for a while following the chords)
