Billy the Kid Billy Dean
BILLY THE KID
Tuning is DADGBD.
I must stress that this is my personal solo arrangement of this song,
which is intended for fingerstyle and is probably at variance with the
Dean version.
D7 Riff ( ^ = slide)

D7 Riff
Strapped on my holster low across my hips
Two Colt .45s with white plastic grips
[G]I'd head [Dm13]west into our [G]neighbor[Dm13]hood they'd say
D7 riff
Here comes young Billy and he's up to no good
D7 riff
I rode a trail through the neighbors' back yards
Shootin' the bad guys through my handlebars
[G]Known for my [Dm13]bravery both [G]far and [Dm13]near
D7 riff
Being late for supper way my only fear
[A] I miss Billy th[G]e kid the times that h[D]e had
the life that h[A]e lived[G] [Bm]
[A] I guess he must have go[G]t caught his innocenc[D]e lost
A Cadd9 D7 riff
I wonder where he is I miss Billy the kid
D7 riff
These days I don't know whose side to be on
There's such a thin line between right and wrong
[G]I live and l[Dm13]earn do the [G]best that I [Dm13]can
D7 riff
There's only so much you can do as a man
(CHORUS X 2 -- D7 riff to END)
