G D
Oh Billy Brown had lived an ordinary life,
G C
Two kids, a dog, and a cautionary wife
G C
While it was all going according to plan,
G D G
Then Billy Brown fell in love with another man.
G D
He met his lover almost every single day,
G C
Making excuses through his dodgy holiday
G C
Unto religion that he said he'd newly found,
G D G
They didn’t know that his faith was earthly bound
[Chorus]
G C
Brown… Oh Billy Brown
Am D
Don’t let the stars get you down,
Am D
Don’t let the waves let you drown
G C
Brown… Oh Billy Brown
Am D
Gonna pick you up like a paper cup,
Am D
Gonna shake the water out of every nook
C D
Oh, Billy Brown
[Verse]
G D
Oh Billy Brown needed a place, somewhere to go,
G C
He found an island off the coast of Mexico
G C
Leaving his lover and his family behind,
G D G
Oh Billy Brown needed to find some peace of mind.
G D
And on his journey and his travels on the way,
G C
He met a girlie who was brave enough to say,
G C
When they made love he shared the burden of his mind,
G D G
Oh Billy Brown you are a victim of the times
[Chorus]
G C
Brown… Oh Billy Brown
Am D
Don’t let the stars get you down,
Am D
Don’t let the waves let you drown
G C
Brown… Oh Billy Brown
Am D
Gonna pick you up like a paper cup,
Am D
Gonna shake the water out of every nook
C D
Oh, Billy Brown
[Instrumental]

Gonna pick you up like a paper cup,

Gonna shake the water out of every nook

Oh, Billy Brown.
