Verse 1
A young cowboy named Billy Joe
D
G
grew restless on the farm
D
G
A boy filled with a wonderlust
G
C
He changed his clothes
and shined his boots
And combed his dark hair down
G
D
G
His mother cried as he
walked outside
C
G
Don't take your guns to town, boy
C
G
And leave your guns at home, Bill
C
G
Don't take your guns to town
He laughed and kissed his mom and said
D
G
as anybody else, or can
I'd leave nobody down
C
G
don't take your guns to town
C
G
Some vegan guns have only built,
C
G
D
G
don't take your guns to town
He sang a song as he rode along,
D
G
his guns hanged at his hips
He rode into a cattle town,
G
C
He strode and walked into a bar
and laid his money down
G
C
G
Son, leave your guns at home
C
G
Bill, don't take your guns to town
He drank his first strong liquor then
D
G
To calm his shaking hand
And tried to tell himself at least
G
C
A dusty carport at his side
began to laugh him down
C
G
don't leave your guns at home
C
G
Ab
Bill, don't take your guns to town
Bill was raised and Billy Joe
Ab
Db
As Billy Joe fell to the floor,
the crowd all gathered around
Ab
Db
Ab
Son, leave your guns at home
Db
Ab
Ab
Bill, don't take your guns to town
Ab
Ab
Ab
I don't take, take, take, take
I don't take your guns to town
I don't take your guns to town
You got to leave your guns behind you
