I've just seen trouble: he's calling out your name tonite
A               E
Billy get your  guns
You could walk away but I know you were born to fight
A                  E
So Billy get your guns
The bandileros are strung out in the promenade
A               E
Billy get your guns
And the wind whispers softly that the devil's to blame
A              E
Billy get your guns
               B              A                       E
Billy get your guns, there's  trouble blowing like a hurricane
               B                 A
Billy get your guns, that's the  price on your head
        E                              B
For the price of fame and it'll never  change... Billy get your guns

E
There's a whiskey bottle empty sittin' on the bar
A               E
Billy get your  guns
And some organ grinder singing about some sucker moving on
A               E
Billy get your  guns
All the whores are hanging out waiting to get paid
A               E
Billy get your  guns
From some Johnny on the spot who said, "Hey, keep the change baby"
A               E
Billy get your  guns

They christened you with whiskey
                         E
And there's fire running through your veins
               A
Well you're an outlaw just the same
    B                               E
And every night a bullet wears your name

E
I've seen hangman dancing 'neath the pale moonlight
A               E
Billy get your  guns
And every stranger that you meet thinks it's his lucky night
A               E
Billy get your  guns
                                           A                   E
I don't envy you, Billy, but I want to say you better get your guns
                                                        E
'Cause every outlaw that's died will live to ride again 
Billy get your guns
