Billy the Kid

Chorus:
 D         G                D
Hey Billy Bonnie, Billy the Kid
 D         G                D
Hey Billy Bonnie, Billy the Kid
 D         G                D
Hey Billy Bonnie, Billy the Kid
 D         G                D
Hey Billy Bonnie, Billy the Kid

                 G            D
Oh the suns going down on Ft Sumpter
                G                 D
And the dirt devils pass over his grave
                 G                    D
He sleeps in the yard behind the wire fence
             G                 D
I thought of him most of the day

Chorus:
  D              G                  D
If it wasnt for love he might of made it
                       G               D
But he stopped when he should have got away
                 G             D
They carried him out of the bedroom
            G                      D
Called his name, and put him in the grave


Chorus:
  D              G               D
If it wasnt for love, Id be long gone
                G                  D
I wouldnt stay around this lonesome place 
G                                  D
But the warmth of your smile and the touch of your hand
                          G              D
Convince me that this is where I want to stay
