Billy's lady told him-let this be understood
G Am D
somethin' better happen soon cause things don't

look too good---tired of savin' pennies-tryin' to
D C G Am
make ends meet-come next Monday afternoon-we're
D G D
gonna be out in the street

G Am D G D
Billy thought it over-he said with a smile
G Am D G G/F#
everything's gonna be alright-just a little while
Em C F# D C
gotta get down to it-pack my things and go
G Am D G E7
he put on his tennis shoes-walked out into the snow
[Chorus]
A Bm E
Oh, Billy Tyler do you remember what you said
A Bm
does your conscience get you when you're lyin'
E D
in your bed. Does it make you sorry for the
A D
things that you've done-do you feel repentance
A A Bm
on the tip of your tongue-did you have to grab
D F#* G Gmaj7
your things and ru---n

She received a postcard, South of England way

sendin' you some money-so that you can eat

everything's gonna be alright-soon be back on my feet
[Chorus]

Oh, Billy Tyler do you remember what you said

does your conscience get you when you're lyin'
