E I've just seen trouble: he's calling out your name toniteA E Billy get your guns You could walk away but I know you were born to fightA E So Billy get your guns The bandileros are strung out in the promenadeA E Billy get your guns And the wind whispers softly that the devil's to blameA E Billy get your gunsB A E Billy get your guns, there's trouble blowing like a hurricaneB A Billy get your guns, that's the price on your headE B For the price of fame and it'll never change... Billy get your gunsE There's a whiskey bottle empty sittin' on the barA E Billy get your guns And some organ grinder singing about some sucker moving onA E Billy get your guns All the whores are hanging out waiting to get paidA E Billy get your guns From some Johnny on the spot who said, "Hey, keep the change baby"A E Billy get your gunsC#m They christened you with whiskeyE And there's fire running through your veinsA Well you're an outlaw just the sameB E And every night a bullet wears your nameE I've seen hangman dancing 'neath the pale moonlightA E Billy get your guns And every stranger that you meet thinks it's his lucky nightA E Billy get your gunsA E I don't envy you, Billy, but I want to say you better get your gunsE 'Cause every outlaw that's died will live to ride again Billy get your guns
