Chords for Johnny Cash & The Statler Brothers (Billy Christian)

_ We have four young men on our show tonight, and on almost all of our TV shows, and they've
been with me on our concerts for about four or five years.
And four better singers I don't think you've ever heard in your life.
From the state of Virginia, the Statler Brothers. _ _ _
_ [N] _ _ _ [C#] _ _ _ _
If [A#] you're listening, Billy Christian, come [C#] on _ home. _ _ _
Are you listening, Billy Christian?
[F#] If you are, then come on home.
[G#] There's a song that's like a _ [C#] song playing along.
That music doesn't thrill her [F#] like it did when you were there.
_ [G#] _ _ _ _ [C#] _ _ _
_ [A#] _ _ _ What a thing they were together, [D#] Billy Christian and Billy White.
[F] People loved to hear them singing.
That was [A#] the best thing ever.
Yeah, I think Billy Christian [D#] was a wild thing to have.
[F] Now Billy's wife sings so out of time.
_ _ [C#] _ _ _
Are you listening, Billy Christian?
[F#] If you are, then come on home.
[G#] Everything's like you left it.
[C#] She spends all her time alone.
That music doesn't thrill her [F#] like it _ _
_ [G#] _ _ _ _ [C#] _ _ _
_ [A#] _ _ did when you were there.
All the fellows tried to date her, but [D#] she never blinked an eye.
[F] Every night she sings the same sad song in the bright.
_ _ [C#] _ _ _
Now where is Billy Christian?
[F#] Does he ever hear this song?
[G#] Does Billy Christian know he's [C#] wanted home? _
Are you listening, Billy Christian?
[F#] If you are, then come on home.
[G#] Everything is like you left it.
She [C#] spends all her time alone.
All that music doesn't thrill her like [F#] it did when you _
_ [G#] _ _ _ [C#] were there.
[G#] Go on home, Billy Christian, [C#] yeah. _ All [F] right. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [A#] _ _ _
