I'll sing...
[Verse 1]
E B7
I'll sing you a true song of Billy the Kid
E B7
I'll sing of some desperate deeds that he did
E A
Way out in New Mexico long, long ago
E B7 E Em
When a man's only chance was his own forty-four
[Verse 2]
Em B7
When Billy the Kid was a very young lad
Em B7
In old Silver City he went to the bad
Em Am
Way out in the West, with a gun in his hand
Em B7 Em E
At the age of twelve years he did kill his first man
[Verse 3]
E B7
There's Mexican maidens play guitars and sing
E B7
Songs about Billy their boy bandit king
E A
Ere his young manhood has reached his sad end
E B7 E Em
With a notch an his pistol for twenty one men
[Verse 4]
Em B7
Was on a sad night when poor Billy died
Em B7
He said to his friend I'm not satisfied
Em Am
There's twenty one men I have put bullets through
