Billy The Kid

Written by Traditional

	  		
verse 1 

     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 ago 
       G                         D         G 
When a man's only friend was his 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 hand 
       G                      D                G 
At the age of twelve years he 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 reached its sad end 
       G                       D          G 
He'd a notch on his pistol for 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 put bullets through 
    G                           D           G 
And sheriff Pat Garrett's gonna 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 City's best friend 
    G                      D               G 
The poor outlaw's life had reached its sad end
