Verse 1
(C major) Wish I had a known ya
(F major) When you were a little (C major) younger
(A minor) Around me you might have learned
a thing or (C major) two
If I had known you longer
You (F major) might be a little Stronger
(C major) And maybe you'd shoot straighter
Then you (G major) (A minor) (G major) (F major) doooo
Maybe you'd shoot straighter (G major)
Then you do (C major)
Verse 2
(A minor) As he walked into the poolroom
You (D major) could tell he didn't fit
In his hand (C major) made boots, custom suits
and (E major) pearl handled shooting stick
(A major) Tonight there'd (A minor) be
a showdown
(D major) then everyone would know
Who shoots (C major) the meanest game around
The (G major) Baron or Billy (C major) Joe
(A minor) Billy Joe looked Edgy
(D major) About to lose his cool
But the Bar (C major) on's hands were steady
As the (E major) two began to duel
(A major) Yeah he (A minor) was like a general
on a (D major) battlefield of slate
And (C major) he'd say to Billy Joe
each (E major) time he sunk the eight (A minor)
He'd Say (G major)

Verse 3
(C major) Wish I had a known ya
When (F major) you were a little young (C major) er
Around (A minor) me you might have learned
a thing or (C major) two
If I had known you longer
You (F major) might be a little Stronger (C major)
And maybe you'd shoot straighter
Then you (G major) (A minor) (G major) (F major) doooo
Maybe you'd shoot (G major) straighter
Then you do (C major)
Verse 4
(A minor) Now Billy Joe was busted
But (D major) he hadn't felt the sting
And from the (C major) far end of the table
He threw his (E major) mother's
wedding ring
And he said (A minor) you won my money
But it (D major) ain't gonna do the trick
I'll (C major) bet this ring on one more game
again (G major) st your fancy stick
(C major) (A minor) The Baron's eyes got foggy
as the (D major) ring rolled on the felt
And he (C major) al most doubled over
Like he had been (E major) hit below the belt
(A minor) Twenty years ago
It was the ring (D major) his wife had worn
And (C major) he didn't know before he left
that a (G major) son would soon be born (C major)
(B flat minor) It sounded just like thunder
when the (E flat major) Baron shot the break
But (D flat major) it grew thickly quiet
as (F major) He lined up the eight
Then a (C major) warm hand (B flat minor) touched
his shoulder
and it chilled (A flat major) him (E flat major) to the bone
When he turned (D flat major) and saw the woman
Who had loved him for so long
The (B flat minor) game was never finished
The (E flat major) eight ball never fell
The (D flat major) Baron calmly picked it up
and (F major) put it on the shelf
Then he placed (B flat minor) the ring
In the hands that (E flat major) held him long ago
and he (D flat major) tossed that fancy shooting stick
To his (F major) son Billy Joe (B flat minor)
And he said (A flat major)
Verse 5
(D flat major) Wish I had a known ya
When (F sharp major) you were a little young (D flat major) er
Around (B flat minor) me you might have learned
a thing or (D flat major) two
If I had known you longer
You (F sharp major) might be a little Stronger (D flat major)
And maybe you'd shoot straighter
Then you (B flat minor) (A flat major) (F sharp major) doooo
Maybe you'd shoot (D flat major) straighter (A flat major)
Then you do
The Baron
