Billy The Kid

     G
I'll sing you a true song of Billy 
the Kid
     D                      G
I'll sing you the record of deeds 
that he did
    G                            
Way out in New Mexico a long time 
  C
ago
       G                         D
When a man's only friend was his 
         G
own forty-four


[Verse 2]
         G
Now when Billy the Kid was a very 
young lad
   D                  G
In old Silver City he went to the 
bad
G                                
Way out west with a knife in his 
C
hand
       G                      D   
At the age of twelve years he 
             G
killed his first man

[Verse 3]
     G
Fair Mexican maidens play guitars 
and sing
D                        G
Songs about Billy, their boy bandit 
king
  G                                
Before his young manhood had 
          C
reached its sad end
       G                      
He'd a notch on his pistol for 
 D          G
twenty-one men

[Verse 4]
       G
It was on one black night that poor 
Billy died
   D                         G
He said to his friends, "I'm not 
satisfied
        G                          
There's twenty-one men that I've 
          C
put bullets through
    G                           D 
And sheriff Pat Garrett's gonna 
          G
make twenty-two"


[Verse 5]
      G
Well, this is how Billy the Kid met 
his fate
  D                            G
A big moon was shining and the hour 
was late
     G                          
Shot down by Pat Garrett, Silver 
             C
City's best friend
    G                      D      
The poor outlaw's life had reached
         G
 its sad end
