verse 1 E B7 I'll sing you a true song of Billy the Kid E B7 I'll sing of some desperate deeds that he did E A Way out in New Mexico long, long ago E B7 E Em When a man's only chance was his own forty-four verse 2 E B7 When Billy the Kid was a very young lad E B7 In old Silver City he went to the bad E A Way out in the West, with a gun in his hand E B7 E Em At the age of twelve years he did kill his first man verse 3 E B7 There's Mexican maidens play guitars and sing E B7 Songs about Billy their boy bandit king E A Ere his young manhood has reached his sad end E B7 E Em With a notch an his pistol for twenty one men verse 4 E B7 Was on a sad night when poor Billy died E B7 He said to his friend I'm not satisfied E A There's twenty one men I have put bullets through E B7 E Em Sheriff Pat Garrett must make twenty two Verse 5 E B7 I'll sing you how Billy the Kid met his fate E B7 The bright moon was shining the hour was late E A Shot down by Pat Garrett who once was his friend E B7 E Em The young outlaw's life is now come to an end Verse 6 E B7 There's many a man with a face fine and fair E B7 Who start out in life with a chance to be square E A Just like poor Billy they wander astray E B7 E Em They'll lose their lives in the very same way ************************************ | tp Tremolo Picking ************************************
