Billy(Ukulele chords)

	        
verse 1 

E 
Billy left on Friday night with twenty dollars cash 
      E 
Had a thousand more and a diamond on his hand when he got back 
        A 
I don't know just where Billy got that dough 
E 
Saturday he spent in style 
E 
Drinks were on the house 
E 
Lincoln here, and a Jackson there 
E 
Suspicions were aroused 
E 
A dime was dropped and a name was named 
E 
A body soon was found 
E 
A travelin' Bible salesman on his monthly trip to town 
             A 
Three bullet holes 
                    E 
A .38 done took his soul 
            A 
What do you know 
                         B 
No diamond ring no money roll 

verse 2 

  A 
A quick investigation 
      A 
They dragged Billy to the station 
                                    E  
And broke him down with the third degree 
A 
His alibi unraveled 
A 
Judge Riley banged his gavel 
  F#               B 
A 12-man jury all agreed 
      Bm      A          
So he must be guilty 

verse 3 
E 
I knew Billy spent that night 
E 
Winning big at cards 
E 
And the salesman was a married man 
E 
Who broke my sisters heart 
E 
Billy sits in Levenworth 
E 
Waiting for the gas 
E  
And I know lots of other things 
                G 
But no one ever asked 
                 A  
So they'll never know 
                           E 
Swear to God they'll never know 
        A                                    B 
Case is closed, that's how the story will be told
