[B] [E]
I'll sing you a true [B] song of Billy the Kid [E] I'll sing of some desperate [B] deeds that he did
[E] Way out in New Mexico [A] long, long ago [E] When a man's only chance was [B] his old 44
[E]
[Em] When Billy the Kid [B] was a very young lad [Em] In old Silver City he [B] went to the bad
[Em] Way out in the West with a [Am] gun in his hand At [Em] the age of 12 years he did [B] kill his first [Em] man
[E]
There's Mexican maidens play [G#m] guitars and sing [E] Songs about Billy, their [A] boy bandit king
[E] Ere his young [Em] manhood has [A] reached its sad end With a notch [E] on his pistol for 21 men
[Em]
Was on a sad night when [B] poor Billy died [Em] He said to his friends, I'm [B] not satisfied
[Em] This 21 men I [Am] have put bullets through [E] Sheriff [Em] Pat Garrett must [B] make [Em] 22
[E] I'll sing you how Billy [B] the Kid met his fate [E] The bright moon was shining, the hour was [F#m] late
[E] Shot down by Pat Garrett [A] who once was his friend [E] The young outlaw's life has now come to an end
[Em]
There's many a man with a face fine and fair Who start out in life with a [B] chance to be square
[Em] Just like poor Billy they [Am] wander astray
[Em] They'll lose their lives in the [B] very same way
[Em]
