A7riff
Strapped on my holster low across my hips
Two Colt .45s with white plastic grips
Dadd9sus4 Am9 Dadd9sus4 Am9
I'd head west through our neighbor - hood they'd say
A7riff
Here comes young Billy and he's up to no good
A7riff
I rode a trail through the neighbors' back yards
Shootin' the bad guys through my handlebars
Dadd9sus4 Am9 Dadd9sus4 Am9
Known for my bravery both far and near
A7riff
Being late for supper way my only fear
E D A
I miss Billy the kid the times that he had
E D F#m
The life that he lived
E D A
I guess he must have got caught his innocence lost
E GAdd9 A
I wonder where he is I miss Billy the kid
A7riff
These days I don't know whose side to be on
There's such a thin line between right and wrong
Dadd9sus4 Am9 Dadd9sus4 Am9
I live and learn do the best that I can
A7riff
There's only so much you can do as a man
(CHORUS X 2 -- END)
This is an arrangement not a direct transcription of the
recording; it?s intended for solo acoustic fingerstyle.
I think original key was Eb (capo 6). Anyone who wants it in D with
alternate tuning, e-mail me.
