Billy

E      A             B   
  Billy,we've come along way 
       E
together
A        B       G#m
  And through it all
             A                     
You've been just like a brother to 
 B
me
E          A                B   
  And Billy,we've had our share 
            E
of ups and downs
A            B                   
  Froze our tails sleeping on the
   G#m
 ground
          A                   
When the jobs were few and far 
     B
between

[Chorus 1]
B              E          
  We've been knocking around 
                A
together so long
 B                     E
Singing them same old songs
                         A       
Been out in the rain so long,i 
F#m          B
swear we're shrinking

[Verse 2]
E      A          B         
  Billy,lately i have done some 
      E
thinking
Continues after the ad
A         B                G#m
  When i look back on our lives
A                           B
   We've sure had ourself a time
          E A             B      
But you know,it's been a wild 
          E
world we traveled
A            B            G#m
  And it's starting to unravel
A                                B
  We leave so many loose ends behind

[Chorus 2]
B             E                  
   We've been bucked off and 
           A
kicked so many times
          B                      
And the ground just keeps getting 
  E
harder
                       A         
Billy,you know well as i,we ain't
F#m          B
 getting no younger

[Verse 3]
E      A          B              
  Billy,another summer's come and 
  E
gone
A           B            G#m
   Now with winter coming on
    A                         B
I know we planned on heading south
    E   A            B           
But Billy,i thought about it 
    E
several days
A            B                 G#m
  And these words i'm about to say
A                              B
  They don't taste good in my mouth

[Chorus 3]
B              E                 
   But there's someone who's 
         A
waiting back home
 B                    E
Lord,if she'll still have me
                        A   F#m   
Guess i'll be saying so long,you 
        B
go on without me

[Other]
B          F#m              
   Ain't no easy way of saying 
       B
goodbye
       F#m                         
So be sure and tell 'em all down in
  B           C#m
 Texas,i said Hi
