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
