Verse 1
(A minor) Mmm mmmm (G major) (A minor) (G major)
(A minor) (D major) (G major)
You know, Bill, it's funny,
but some (A minor) how it seems like
only yesterday to me
that your mother and I brought
you home (G major) from the hospital
and the first time she handed you to me
I was (D major) so frightened I didn't
even know what to do.
But as you smiled (B minor) and
grasped at my finger
with your little hand,
I suddenly (A minor) realized one (C major) thing,
that I loved you. (G major)
And I can remember many times
gazing down at you in (F major) wonder
as you lay fast asleep in your little crib,
(G major) an d every time you'd toss or turn
or make a little baby sound, (Dsus4)
I'd (C major) leap close (D minor) and I'd say,
(Dsus4) one more (D major) time, (G major) Billy Brown, (A minor)
one more (G major) time, Billy (A minor) Brown. (D major) (G major)
Somehow, Bill,
my memory of the next few years
is just a kind (A minor) of a happy blur.
And the next thing I seem to remember
is that you (B minor) were a big, strong, independent
17 -year -old
with a dad who (C major) still loved you
more than anything else in the world,
but I (G major) guess had the good sense
not to tell you all the time.
And (F major) I can remember many times
gazing down at you in wonder
from the grandstand (G major) at your
high school football games.
And every time they handed you (D minor) the ball,
(C major) I'd yell along with the
(D minor) rest of the (B flat major) crowd
when they'd say,
(D minor) One (A minor) (C major) more (A minor) time, (G major) Billy Brown. (A minor)
One more (G major) time, Billy Brown. (A minor)
One more (G major) time, Billy Brown. (A minor) (D major) (E minor)
And now that the guns (E major) of war
have (F major) ended
your short, beautiful life,
you (C major) know what I find (E minor) myself wishing, Bill?
I (G major) wish that you were just
a little boy again,
sleeping up in your room
the way you used (A minor) to.
And I wish there was a circus
coming to town tomor (B minor) row.
And that when the sun comes up,
I could go there (C major) with you.
But more than anything,
I wish there were (G major) no more wars.
And that you'd had a better reason
for dy (F major) ing so cold and alone.
My boy, (G major) my precious irreplaceable son.
When (D minor) (C major) will (D minor) we ever learn,
and for just how long must there be?
One more time, (G major) Lillie (A minor) Brown
One more (G major) time, (A minor) Lillie Brown
One (G major) more time, (A minor) Lillie Brown
One (G major) more time, Lillie Brown
You
One More Time Billy Brown
