         G                     C        G
There's guns across the river aimin' at ya
G                           C       G
Lawman on your trail, he'd like to catch ya
 C                                   G
Bounty hunters, too, they'd like to get ya
 D                                    G
Billy, they don't like you to be so free.

Campin' out all night on the veranda
Dealin' cards 'til dawn in the hacienda
Up to Boot Hill they'd like to send ya
Billy, don't you turn your back on me.

Playin' around with some sweet seorita
Into her dark hallway she will lead ya
To the shadows of the mesa she will greet ya
Billy, you're so far away from home.
