D      A7      D       B7 
In the town of Louieville 
E7     Bm5-/7            G   G/F# E7 
Lived a man they called Big Bad Bill 
A7        Em7      G    A7  A7/13- 	D 
I want to tell you,  he sure was tough  
   Cdim           Em7         A7 
He certainly did strut that stuff 
D      A7      D        B7 
He had folks scared to death; 
E7           Bm5-/7       G   G/F#    E7 
When he walked by they held their breath 
E7       Bm5-/7     E7  Em7/9 Fdim A7 
He was a fightin' man, sure  enough 
G             B7        E7 
Now Bill took himself a wife 
G/B      A7    G/B  Cdim  A7 
Just to lead a dif'frent life 
D   Em7  D   A7   G   Em7  A7  D    G D A7 
Big Bad Bill is Sweet William now 
D   Em7  D   A7   D     Cdim      A7 
Married life has changed him somehow 
G        G/F#          Em7         Gdim 
He's the man that they all used to fear 
         D              F#7         B7         
Now the people call him sweet Papa Willy Dear 
E7            Bm5-/7   B7    E7 
Stronger than Samson, I declare 
      A7           G/B     A7          Em7   A7 
Til a soft-skinned Delilah bobbed his hair 
D   Em7  D   A7      D   Em7 A7 D G D A7 
Big Bad Bill don't fight  anymore 
D     Em7   D A7  D          F#7     B7 
Washes    dishes and he mops up the floor 
G                 Em7       C#7 
Used to spend his ev'nings lookin' for a fight 
D               F#7           B7 
Now he's got to see his momma ev'ry night 
G        Em7    A7    Em7  A7  D 
Big Bad Bill is Sweet William now
