[Verse 1]

G          D                    C
     Billy was a good friend of mine
G               D                
     We grew up together ever 
           C
since we were nine
G               D                
     We went to school, he was my
      C
 best friend
G          D                     
     And I thought our friendship
             C
 would never end

[Verse 2]

G            D             
     In high school he played 
       C
football
G                      D         
     And me, I didn't do anything
    C
 at all
G                  D             
     He made touch-downs while I 
       C
played pool
G                     D          
     And no one could figure out 
                        C
which one of us was the fool

[Verse 3]

G           D              
     Then we both went off to 
   C
college
G               D                
     He studied medicine while I 
        C
studied foliage
G           D          C
     He got A's, I got D's
G           D                C
     He was going for his Ph.D.
G           D               C
     Then I decided to drop out
G                D               
     Things were getting a little
     C
 too hot
G          D                     
     Billy stayed then became an 
              C
intern then a doctor
G                 D              
     Then war broke out and he 
     C
had to go
G                             
     But not me, I was mentally 
  D                     C
unfit or so they say, so-so

[Verse 4]

G                 D              
     When he came back, he wasn't
           C
 quite the same
G                    D           
     His nerves were shot but not
     C
 me
G                    D           
     Last time I saw him, I 
                C
couldn't take it anymore
G                    D           
     He wasn't the Billy I knew, 
                         C
it was like talking to a door

[Verse 5]

G          D               C
     Billy was a friend of mine
G                   D            
     I grew up with him ever 
        C
since I was nine
G               D             C
     We went together through school
G                D               
     And now I often wonder which
                  C
 one of us was the fool
