(Verse 1)
Always [C]lonely, always [Am]looking
To get [C]even with the [F]men who did him [G7]wrong
That was [C]Billy, lonesome [Am]Billy
Who was [C]quick to think a [G7]gun could make him [Am]strong
(Interlude)
No one [C]tougher or more [Em]daring
Only [Am]he and his gun [F]sharing
the great [F]fight to live
And [Bm]his great love to [Em]fight
All of [G7]men who played with [C]danger
To whom [Am]trouble was no [C]stranger
until [C]one day he lay [F]dying
He'[Am]d filled his date wit[G7]h dest[Am]iny
(Verse 2)
Never [C]friendly, never [Am]trusting
Always [C]kept one ready [F]hand near his [G7]gun
That was [C]Billy, lonesome [Am]Billy
The [C]rough man who would [G7]rather kill than [Am]run
The [F]rough man who would [G7]rather kill [G7] than [Am]run [Am]
