Key: C, F, Dm, AmChords
A A (C C)young cow(G7 G7)boy named (C C)Billy Joe grew (G7 G7)restless on the (C C)farm
A A boy (G7 G7)filled with (C C)wonderlust who (G7 G7)really meant no (C C)harm
He (F F)changed his (C7 C7)clothes and (F F)shined his boots and combed his dark hair down
And his (C C)mother (G7 G7)cried as (C C)he walked out

Chorus
Don't (F F)take your guns to (C C)town son
(F F)Leave your guns at (C C)home Bill
Don't (F F)take your guns to (C C)town

He (C C)laughed and (G7 G7)kissed his (C C)mom and said 'your (G7 G7)Billy Joe's a (C C)man'
I can (G7 G7)shoot as (C C)quick and straight as (G7 G7)anybody (C C)can
But I (F F)wouldn't (C7 C7)shoot with(F F)out a cause I'd gun nobody down
But she (C C)cried a(G7 G7)gain as he (C C)rode away

Chorus

He (C C)sang a (G7 G7)song as (C C)on he rode his (G7 G7)guns hung at his (C C)hips
He rode in(G7 G7)to a (C C)cattle town a (G7 G7)smile upon his (C C)lips
He (F F)stopped and (C7 C7)walked in(F F)to a bar, and laid his money down
But his (C C)mother's (G7 G7)words echo(C C)ed again

Chorus

He (C C)drank his (G7 G7)first strong li(C C)quor then to (G7 G7)calm his shaking (C C)hand
And tried to (G7 G7)tell him(C C)self he (G7 G7)had become a (C C)man
A A (F F)dusty (C7 C7)cowpoke (F F)at his side began to laugh him down
And he (C C)heard a(G7 G7)gain his (C C)mother's words

Chorus

(C C)Filled with (G7 G7)rage then (C C)Billy Joe reached (G7 G7)for his gun to (C C)draw
But the stranger (G7 G7)drew his (C C)gun and fired be(G7 G7)fore he even (C C)saw
As (F F)Billy (C7 C7)Joe fell (F F)to the floor the crowd all gathered 'round
And (C C)wondered (G7 G7)at his (C C)final words

Chorus
