There's guns across the river
C 
G 
about to pound you
There's lawmen on your chair
C 
G 
who like to surround you
C 
County hunters are
G 
dancin' all around you
D 
Billy, they don't like you
G 
C 
to be so free
G 
C 
Campin' out all night on
G 
C 
the veranda
G 
Walkin' in the street down
C 
by the Hacienda
G 
C 
Up to Brood Hill they'd
G 
love to send ya
D 
Oh, Billy, don't you turn
G 
your back on me
Layin' around with some
C 
G 
sweet senorita
C 
G 
Into her dark chamber she will creature
C 
In the shadows of the Mesa,
G 
he will lead you
D 
Oh, Billy, and you're
G 
running all alone
They say that Pat Garrett's
C 
G

So sleep with one eye open
C

when you slumber

Every little sound just
G 
might be thunder
D

Thunder from the barrel of his gun

There's always another stranger
C 
G 
to sneak in glances
Some trigger -happy fool
C 
G 
willing to take chances
C 
Some old whore from San Pedro
G 
will make advances
D 
Advances on your spirit
G 
and your soul
C 
So hang on to your woman if
G 
you've got one
C 
G 
Remember in El Paso, once you shot one
C 
In up in Santa Fe,
G 
one time you bought one
D 
Billy, you've been
G 
running for so long
Gypsy Queens will play
C 
G 
your grand finale
C 
G 
Waking in the to the roadside
C 
G 
Made me in a real big, close valley
D 
G 
Billy, you're so far away from home

G
