Dont Take Your Guns To Town Johnny Cash
A [A]young cowboy named Billy Joe grew r[E]estless on the farm[A],
a boy filled with wanderlust, who [E]really meant no[A] harm.
He [D]changed his clothes and shined his boots and combed his dark hair down.
And his [A]mother cried as he walked out,
"don't [D]take your guns to [A]town, son.
[D]Leave your guns at [A]home, Bill.
Don't [D]take your guns to [A]town."
He [A]laughed and kissed his mom and said, "you[E]r Billy Joe's a [A]man.
I can shoot as quick and straight as[E] anybody can[A]
But I [D]wouldn't shoot without a cause, I'd gun nobody down."
But she [A]cried again as he rode away,
"don't [D]take your guns to [A]town, son.
[D]Leave your guns at [A]home, Bill.
Don't [D]take your guns to [A]town."
He [A]sang a song as he rode, his [E]guns hung at his hip[A]s.
He rode into a cattle town, a[E] smile upon his[A] lips.
He [D]stopped and walked into a bar and laid his money down.
But his [A]mother's words echoed again:
"don't [D]take your guns to [A]town, son.
[D]Leave your guns at [A]home, Bill.
Don't [D]take your guns to [A]town."
He [A]drank his first strong liquor then to[E] calm his shaking[A] hand,
and tried to tell himself at last that he'd[E] become [A]a man.
A [D]dusty cowpoke at his side began to laugh him down.
And he [A]heard again his mother's words:
"don't [D]take your guns to [A]town, son.
[D]Leave your guns at [A]home, Bill.
Don't t[D]ake your guns to [A]town."
[A]Filled with rage then Billy Joe reached[E] for his gun to[A] Draw
but the stranger drew his gun and fired bef[E]ore he even saw[A].
As [D]Billy Joe fell to the floor the crowd all gathered 'round
and [A]wondered at his final words:
"don't [D]take your guns to [A]town, son.
[D]Leave your guns at home, Bill[A].
Don't [D]take your guns to [A]town."
