WWW.AZCHORDS.COM | Trevor Moore - The Ballad Of Billy John Chords | Ver. 1
The main chords are Bb, D# and Gm. I recommend using barre chords
Bb D# Bb
Billy John was a simple man, worked in the fields most his life
Gm D# Bb
He provided for his wife and kids and left his dreams on the side
D# Bb
One day when the kids left home billy picked up his guitar
Gm D# Bb
It had been awhile but his fingers still knew how to reach the heart
D# Bb
He played a song about life and love, his hopes and regrets
Gm D# Bb
Then with a little problem from the Mrs. he put it on the internet
D# Bb
When the views started pouring in, tears of joy started to fall
Gm D# Bb
Then they scrolled to the comment section and this is what they saw
Chorus:
Bb
Eat a bag of sh*t cuntface
D# Bb
Go blow your f**king dad
D# Bb
This sh*t just raped my ears never heard nothin so bad
Gm
I hope you f**king die
D# Bb
And I hope you get aids
Gm
You should just kill yourself
D#
You're a fag
Bb
Lol gay
Bb D# Bb
Billy's wife watched her husband as he shrugged and tried to smile
Gm D# Bb
He put his guitar away and stopped and stared at it for awhile
D# Bb
She knew he felt like a fool and he'd never play again
Gm D# Bb
So she turned on her webcam and her message began
She said:
Bb F
The man you've hurt tonight, I've watched for 35 years
Gm F
He's got a kind and gentle soul and thanks to you
That soul is in tears
And the people said:
Bb
Shut the f**k up fatty
D#
Show us your tits
Bb
One out of ten I wouldn't bang
D# Bb
I bet she'd try to eat your dick
Gm
You should go get sterilized
D# Bb
So that you cant have kids
Gm D# Bb
Then they photoshopped a bunch of pictures of her covered in jizz
Bb
Well the video went viral
D# Bb
Huh, fifty-seven million hits
Gm D# Bb
Billy John's wife became a meme on the internet
D# Bb
They played the clip on cnn and read tweets about her weight
Gm D# Bb
Cause I guess thats the sorta thing that the news does nowadays
D# Bb
Billy John and his wife did nothing wrong, and they weren't dumb
Gm D# Bb
They just hadnt paid attention to what we'd all become
Bb D# Bb
But a couple weeks later, after avoiding it for sometime
Gm D# Bb
A broken down and changed Billy John finally went back online
Bb F
He found a page of a blogger, still makin' fun of his wife
Gm F
He signed up, made an account and this is what he typed
Bb
Eat a bag of sh*t cuntface
D# Bb
Go blow your f**king dad
D# Bb
Your sh*t just raped my eyes, never read nothin' so bad
Bb Gm
I hope you f**king die
D# Bb
And I hope you get aids
Gm D# Bb
And the world lost a Billy John and it gained more of the same
End on Bb
