Chords for Davy Steele & Dougie Maclean Billy's Song

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
The shorter we are here, the quicker we'll get away from these bloody things that are
killing us and eating us alive.
That's the song for Billy that we sang last year.
Remember the chorus? _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ The chorus is Kill Another Fly, Billy.

_ _ _ [E] _ _ _ Was a warm summer's evening [G] in the sand by the [E] shore
And the people wanted music for the party
[A] _
I jumped in my car [G] and I took my guitar
And [Em] Billy packed his fiddle and [A] came with me
[G] We ate of their food [A] and we drank of their wine
[G] We told tales and laughed [A] ourselves silly
_ When the time came to play, [G] the space was cleared away
And the crowd was [Em]
down
_ _ And up [Am] jumped Billy, they said play another tune
Billy played through the night
And they danced and they danced till the [A] morning light Sing that!
[E] They said play another tune, Billy played through the [Am] night
And they danced and [G] they danced till the [Am] morning light
_ Play another tune, Billy, play until the night
And they danced and they danced till the morning light
That's what they sang
_ _ I sang all my songs [Em] and Billy played along
There wasn't [D] one tune he couldn't play [B] to
_ He'd sing Mad [Am] was Raw and I [G] sang myself raw
[F] And Billy played [Am] songs that we both knew
_ With a smile on his face, Billy quickened the pace
[Em] And he moved [G] on to songs free [Am] and fancy
_ [A] When the time came to stop, the crowd [D] all jumped up
And they let out a [E] roar, _ _ just for Billy
_ They said play another tune, Billy, play [Am] in all your mind
And they [G] danced and [G] they danced till the morning [Am] light
_ [D] They said play another tune, Billy, play with all your mind
And they danced and they danced [A] till the morning light _
_ _ _ _ [G] Alone in my room, I heard those same old tunes
And I thought [Em] of a friend [Am] I'd lost forever
_ So I got in my car and I took [G] out my guitar
[Am] I went [E] to that place we [Am] played together
[A] This [G] time on my own, [A] I stood all [G] alone
On a night when the cold winds [Am] chilled me
And if I listened very hard, I [G] swore I could hear
The roar of the [Bm] crowd
_ [Em] _
_ _ [A] Crying Billy, they [D] said play another [Am] tune, [E] Billy
Play through the night, and they danced and they danced
Till the morning light
They [D] said play [A] another tune, Billy, play [D] in all your [Am] mind
And they danced [G] and they danced till the [A] morning light _
They said [D] play another [Am] tune, Billy, [D] play when you will
[A] And I [C] know _
_ _ _ [Em] _ _ _ somewhere _ _ he's _ [A] playing still
