[Gb] [E] And I'm going to sing a song about Billy and Sue.
Story [Gb] about Billy and Sue, [B] they were as in love as were [Abm] the [B] inner two, and dead Billy [Abm] had to [B] die.
Hear the [Abm] reason why, you'll [B] hang your head and [Gb] cry.
Hear the reason why, [E] they were led to [Gb] fight for his country and [B] his way of
[Abm] life.
[Bbm] Sue's letters [Fm] came every [Abm] day, strengthened his [Ebm] cause, they showed him the way [E] to fight for his [B] country and their girly love.
[Gb]
That's a soldier's [Abm] lonely pay.
[Bbm] [Db] And Billy heard [Bbm] no more from Sue, [Db] he was worried and sick, [Bbm] but what could he [Db] do?
The bullets were screaming [Ab] as he hugged the ground, [Gb] and back home, [Ab] Sue [Db] was running round.
[Bbm] [Db] Billy was getting [Bbm] less and less strong, [Db] his hope, his faith [Bbm] was almost gone.
[Db] And then like a [Ab] [Gb] millstone, a letter of a [Ab] man he read, [Db] he did his [Bbm] job.
[Db] Home he came to a village [Bbm] that would scare no ghost, [Db] of a million seen on [Bbm] soldiers coast to coast.
[Db] And even though they had [Ab] lost Billy, [Gb] they jumped up,
[Ab] they [Db] shot him dead.
[Bbm] [Db] Billy was buried [Bbm] in a quarry grave, and [Db] raved for his country, [Bbm] his life he gave.
[Db] But that every man [Ab] [Gb] died from a bullet, [Ab] but he died from a [Db] broken heart.
