I'll sing...
[Verse 1]
E B7
I'll sing you a true song of Billy the Kid
E B7
I'll sing of some desperate deeds that he did
E A
Way out in New Mexico long, long ago
E B7 E Em
When a man's only chance was his own forty-four
[Verse 2]
E B7
When Billy the Kid was a very young lad
E B7
In old Silver City he went to the bad
E A
Way out in the West, with a gun in his hand
E B7 E Em
At the age of twelve years he did kill his first man
[Verse 3]
E B7
There's Mexican maidens play guitars and sing
E B7
Songs about Billy their boy bandit king
E A
Ere his young manhood has reached his sad end
E B7 E Em
With a notch an his pistol for twenty one men
[Verse 4]
E B7
Was on a sad night when poor Billy died
E B7
He said to his friend I'm not satisfied
E A
There's twenty one men I have put bullets through
E B7 E Em
Sheriff Pat Garrett must make twenty two
[Verse 5]
E B7
I'll sing you how Billy the Kid met his fate
E B7
The bright moon was shining the hour was late
E A
Shot down by Pat Garrett who once was his friend
E B7 E Em
The young outlaw's life is now come to an end
[Verse 6]
E B7
There's many a man with a face fine and fair
E B7
Who start out in life with a chance to be square
E A
Just like poor Billy they wander astray
E B7 E Em
They'll lose their lives in the very same way
