Song: Billy The Kid Tab
G
Henry McCarty was Billy the Kid
D A
Don't nobody doubt what that young feller did
D G
His life of stealin' greenbacks and cattle
D A D G D A
He killed who he had to and lived in the saddle
D G
Young Billy the Kid, as lithe as a cat
D A
He took to the guidance of Sombrero Jack
D G
Who showed him the ropes and the ways of ill will
D A D
Then he killed his first man, the blacksmith Cahill
G
Billy The Kid was the murdering kind
D A
The victims misfortune had been pre-defined
D G
Killin’ was something that he chose to do
D A D
Chances are he’d a-done it to you [CHORUS]
Bm G
After years of wrong-doin' he met his demise
D A
The Sheriff Pat Garret, he took home that prize
D G
Just one in the heart is what they have said
D A Bm
The young boy, Bill Bonney at long last was dead
[CHORUS]
D G
It seems that this killer of many-o-men
D A
was promised a pardon by the governor back then
D G
In exchange for help in arrest and conviction
D A D
Of the killer of a lawyer from the local jurisdiction
G
So the Governor of New Mexico, 2010
D A
Is looking to free a bad man among men
D G
With a slap in the face to those who have died
D A D
To hell with the death and the tears that were cried
G
Henry McCarty was Billy the Kid
D A
Don't nobody doubt what that young feller did
D G
His life of stealin' greenbacks and cattle
D A D
He killed who he had to and lived in the saddle
G D A D
He killed who he had to and lived in the saddle
G D A Bm
Till the law took him out with nary a battle
