Billy Porter

Am        Am       Am       Am G
Am        Am       Am       Am G

[Verse 1]
Am                           Am                               Em           Em
Walking down an empty road I saw a man in old grey clothes, a stranger;
Am                             Am                           Em           Em
passing by he smiled at me but when I looked I realised the danger.
        F                   G         C         C
For his eyes they looked so empty and cold
              F                G        C         C
and something told me that I'm gonna be rolled;
      F           G                   C                  D           G        E
in my pocket only cents and dimes but then for them he'd gladly kill me.

[Verse 2]
Am                              Am                            Em           Em
Walking past and walking fast I managed just to slip around a corner,
Am                                   Am                                   Em           Em
thought he'd hear my running feet as I went pounding down the street like thunder.
           F              G             C         C
Well, I've never heard my heart beat so fast
         F             G             C         C
and I've never been so scared in the past.
      F          G             C                   D       E             E
And I never ever realised that this place could be evil to me.

[Chorus]
      F       F            C                       E
Billy Porter,   you didn't tell me that I needed a gun.

Billy Porter,   when you wrote you said that this place is fun.

[Interlude]
            Am        Am
What have I done?
Am        Am       E       E
Am        Am       E       E

[Part of Verse 2] (Reprise)
           F              G             C         C
Well, I've never heard my heart beat so fast
         F             G             C         C
and I've never been so scared in the past.
      F          G             C                   D       G   E
And I never ever realised that this place could be evil to me,   let me tell ya'.

[Verse 3]
     Am                                    Am
Now, Billy's smart and Billy's tough, he's good to have,
                          Em           Em
when the going's rough he told me:
Am                                     Am                             Em           Em
"Don't go out on your own at night for if you do you'll have to fight stay by me".
         F           G              C         C
Now he's teaching me each and every day
      F                  G             C         C
and I think that in this place I might stay.
      F           G               C                 D           E         E
And I never, ever realised what a roughneck I would turn out to be.

[Chorus]
      F       F            C                       E

      F       F          C                                 E
Billy Porter,   when you wrote you said that this place is fun.

[Interlude]
            Am        Am
What have I done?
Am        Am       E       E
Am        Am       E       E

      F       F            C                        E
Billy Porter,   what would father say if he saw his son.
      F       F           C                       E
