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        Dm13          G       Dm13
I'd head west into our neighborhood      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            Dm13         G       Dm13
Known for my bravery both far and near
D7 riff
Being late for supper way my only fear

     A                 G                        D
	I miss Billy the kid    the times that he had
                       A      G   Bm
	the life that he lived
      A                        G                       D
     	I guess he must have got caught    his innocence 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           Dm13        G           Dm13
I live and learn do the best that I can
D7 riff
There's only so much you can do as a man


(CHORUS X 2   -- D7 riff to END)
