Hi, Steve Smith,

(D major) When I (G major) was a kid, I worked in a pawn shop

what can I do for (G major) you? (E major)
He (A major) sped up and looked
(D major) right in my face (G major)
That's when it hit me and I said
Did (C major) n't you used to be Billy Jack Willis
The man (G major) they call Mr. Guitar?

I (G major) got pretty busy at the front
of the pawn shop
Spent (A major) a couple of hours on the phone
(D major) That old lady (G major) came in and said that you have
a real cheap sew (C major) ing machine lying around (G major)
I went (C major) back to the (C sharpdim) storeroom
and I opened the (G major) door, (E minor)
I heard (A major) a famil (D major) iar sound (G major)

Billy Jack Willis?
(A major) Turned you into whatever (D major) you are
He said, I (C major) got tired of being Billy Jack Willis
I never (G major) liked being a star
(C major) He said, so I went back (C sharpdim) to
being just Billy (E minor) Jack
It's been years (A major) since I touched (D major) a gui (G major) tar
I said, well, touch up on that one,
Billy (G minor) Jack
Cause I wanna hear it,

here (G major) (C major) (C minor) (C major) (A major) (D major)
He said, I (C major) learned to play
by listening to your records
You're (G major) my hero, you really are (C major)
And he took another gui (C sharpdim) tar
down off the (G major) wall
(E major) Said, kid, (A major) let's play some (D major) double guitar
(G major) Sound like it's right here.
