Bridge 1
When (E minor) Billy the Kid was a (B7) very young lad
In old (E minor) Silver City he (B7) went to the bad
Way (E minor) out in the West with a (A minor) gun in his hand
At the (E minor) age of twelve years
he did kill (B7) his first (E minor) man
[Tremolo] (E major)
Verse 2
There's (E major) Mexican maidens play guitars (B7) and sing
(E major) Songs about Billy, their boy (B7) bandit king
(E major) 'Ere his young manhood
has (A major) reached his sad end
With a (E major) notch on his pistol for (B7) twenty one (E major) men
(E minor) [Tremolo]
Bridge 2
Was (E minor) on a sad night when poor (B7) Billy died
He (E minor) said to his friend, "I'm (B7) not safisfied
There's (E minor) twenty one men
I have (A minor) put bullets through
(E minor) Sheriff Pat Garrett must (B7) make twenty (E minor) two!"
(E major) [Tremolo]
Verse 3
I'll (E major) sing you how Billy the Kid (B7) met his fate
The (E major) bright moon was shinin',
the (B7) hour was late
Shot (E major) down by Pat Garrett
who (A major) once was his friend
The (E major) young outlaw's life is now (B7) come to an (E major) end
(E minor) [Tremolo]
Bridge 3
There's (E minor) many a man with a face (B7) fine and fair
Who (E minor) start out in life
with a (B7) chance to be square
(E minor) Just like poor Billy they wander (A minor) astray
(E minor) They'll lose their lives in the (B7) very same way
(E minor)
