BILLY THE KID
Tuning is DADGBD.
I must stress that this is my personal solo arrangement of this song,
which is intended for fingerstyle and is probably at variance with the
Dean version.

D7 Riff
Strapped on my holster low across my hips
Two Colt .45s with white plastic grips
G Dm13 G Dm13
I'd head west into our neighborhood they'd say
D7 riff
Here comes young Billy and he's up to no good
D7 riff
I rode a trail through the neighbors' back yards
Shootin' the bad guys through my handlebars
G Dm13 G Dm13
Known for my bravery both far and near
D7 riff
Being late for supper way my only fear
A G D
I miss Billy the kid the times that he had
A G Bm
the life that he lived
A G D
I guess he must have got caught his innocence lost
A Cadd9 D7 riff
I wonder where he is I miss Billy the kid
D7 riff
These days I don't know whose side to be on
There's such a thin line between right and wrong
G Dm13 G Dm13
I live and learn do the best that I can
D7 riff
There's only so much you can do as a man
(CHORUS X 2 -- D7 riff to END)
