In [Dm] the southern part of Texas, [C] east and west of El [Am] Paso, where the mighty Franklin Mountains
[Dm] guard the trail to Mexico.
There's a new maid with a cryin' [C] and a purse a-rollin' [Am] slow.
I guess that devil's passed this [Dm] way again.
There's a lantern saw staggin' [C] runnin' through the Joshua trees, [Am] and a young man in the saddle
[Dm] with his coattails in the breeze.
He's got a six-gun on his right hip [C] and a rifle at his knees, [Am] and he's dealin' in a
game that [D] he can't win.
[Dm] Poor Billy [C] Bonny, you're only twenty-one.
[Bb] That guy's got your name [F] on every bullet [Am] in his gun.
[Dm] He's not your car, but only six [C]-gun has a bloody tale to tell.
[Am] You're a mile ahead of Garrett, [A] and it's the [Dm] outside of hell.
[C]
[Am] [D] [C]
[Dm] Them fancy clothes you're [C] wearin' and the women in your bed [Am] can't take away the faces
[Dm] of the men that you've left dead.
As you ride across the bad [C] lands with a price upon your head, [Am] and now the wheel of fortune
[Dm] starts to turn, your reputation's grown to [C] list the biggest in the land, [Em] and there ain't
a lot of people [Dm] left who wanna call your hand.
And I guess you'll go down shootin', [C] and like all branded men, [Am] you can shake hands with
the devil you [D] get burned.
[Dm] Poor Billy [C] Bonny, you're only twenty-one.
[Bb] That guy's got your name [Dm] on every bullet [Am] in his gun.
[Dm] He's not your car, but only six [C]-gun has a bloody tale to [Am] tell.
You're a mile ahead of Garrett, [A] and it's the outside [Dm] of hell.
