Billy the Kid — текст песни (The Charlie Daniels Band)

Words and Music: CHARLIE DANIELS
Tabbed by Jerry Gant
Dm C
IN THE SOUTHERN PART OF TEXAS, EAST AND WEST OF EL PASO
A7 Dm
WHERE THE MIGHTY FRANKLIN MOUNTAINS GUARD THE TRAIL TO MEXICO
C
THERE`S A NEW-MADE WIDOW CRYING AND A HEARSE A ROLLIN SLOW
A7 Dm C/E F C/E Dm
I GUESS THE DEVILS PASSED THIS WAY AGAIN

THERE`S A LATHERED SORREL STALLION RUNNING THRU THE JOSHUA TREES
AND A YOUNG MAN IN THE SADDLE WITH HIS COAT TAILS IN THE BREEZE
HE`S GOT A SIX GUN ON HIS RIGHT HIP AND A RIFLE AT HIS KNEES
A7 Dm C Dm C F C
AND HE`S DEALING IN A GAME THAT HE CAN`T WIN

CHORUS
Dm C
POOR BILLY BONNEY, YOU`RE ONLY 21,
Bb F
PAT GARRETT`S GOT YOUR NAME ON EVERY BULLET IN HIS GUN
Dm
EVERY NOTCH YOU CARVE ON YOUR SIX GUN
C
HAS A BLOODY TALE TO TELL
Am7 Dm
YOU`RE A MILE AHEAD OF GARRETT AND A STEP OUTSIDE OF HELL

THOSE FANCY CLOTHES YOUR WEARIN AND THE WOMEN IN YOUR BED
CAN`T TAKE AWAY THE TRACES OF THE MEN THAT YOU`VE LEFT DEAD
AS YOU RIDE ACROSS THE BAD LANDS WITH A PRICE UPON YOUR HEAD
AND NOW THE WHEEL OF FORTUNE STARTS TO Turn

YOU`RE REPUTATION`S GROWN TILL IT`S THE BIGGEST IN THE LAND
AND THERE AIN`T ALOT OF PEOPLE LEFT WHO WANT TO CALL YOUR HAND
AND I GUESS YOU`LL GO DOWN SHOOTIN AND LIKE ALL BRANDED MEN
WHEN YOU SHAKE HANDS WITH THE DEVIL YOU GET BURNED

CHORUS
