_ _ [G] _ _ From a town known as Wheeling, [F] West Virginia, _ he wrote [G] a boy with a six-gun in [F] his hand
[D] and _ [G] his daring life [Em] a crime, [F] made him a legend in [C] his [G] time east [Am] and west of [Dm] the Rio Grande.

_ [G] _ _ Well he started [Em] with a bank in [F] [Bb] Colorado, [F] _ _ [G] pocket of [Em] his vest a [F] cold blue [D] hitter
[G] and his age [Em] and his size [F] took another [C] by [G] surprise [Am] and the word [C] spread of Billy [F] the Kid.
[C] _ _ _ _ [G] _
_ [C] Well he never [G] traveled heavy, [D] [E] as he always rode [G] alone and he [C] stood with many other [F] nuns to say
_ _ [C] And he never had a [D] sweetheart [E] and he never had [G] a home, [C] but the cowboy and the rancher [D] knew his name.
Well [G] he robbed his way from Utah to [F] Oklahoma, _ _ _ [G] now it just [Gm] could not seem to [F] track him [E] down.
[D] _ [G] He served [Em] his legend well, [F] all the folks they [C] loved to [G] tell [Am] folks when [C] Billy the Kid [Dm] came to town.

Oh [F] what he [Am] did, [D] _ [G] the [Gm] cowboys and their kin [F] like the sea came [C] pouring in to [Am] watch the [C] hanging [Dm] of Billy the Kid.
[C] _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
[C] Well he never traveled [D] heavy, as [E] he always [G] rode alone [C] and he stood with many other [F] nuns to say
Never _ [C] _ had a [D] sweetheart, but [Em] he finally found a [G] home [C] underneath the foothill grave that [D] bears his name.
_ _ [G] The town known [Em] as Oyster Bay, [F] Long Island, _ _ [Am] [G] wrote a boy with a six-pack in [F] his hand
[D] _ [G] And his daring life a [Em] crime, made [F] him a legend in [C] his [G] time, east [Am] and west of the [Dm] Rio Grande.
