[Am] [Dm]
[Am] [Dm] Walking down an empty road I saw a man in old [Am] grey clothes, a stranger
[Dm] Passing by he smiled at me but when I looked I [Am] realized the danger
[Bb] For his eyes he [C] looked so empty [F] and cold And [Bb] something told [C] me that I'm born [F] of erode
[Bb] In my pocket [C] only cents [F] and dimes but then for [G] them he'd gladly [C] kill me
[A]
[Dm] Walking fast and walking fast I managed just to slip [Am] around the corner
[Dm] Thought he'd hear my running feet as I went pounding down [Am] the street like thunder
[Bb] Well I've [C] never had my heart [F] beat so fast [Bb] And I've [C] never been so steady [F] in the past
[Bb] And I [C] never ever [F] realized that this [G] place would be [A] evil to me
[Bb] Billy Potter, you [F] didn't tell me that I'm in [A] Iraq
[Bb] Billy Potter, when [F] you wrote you said that this place is [A] fun

[A]
Let me [Dm] tell you, not Billy's fun, Billy's tough, it's good to have when you're going [Am] but without me
[Dm] Don't go out on your own at night for if you do you'll have [Am] to play stay by me
[Bb] Now he's teaching [C] me each [F] and every day [Bb] And I think [C] that in this place I [F] might stay
[Bb] And I never [C] ever [F] realized what a rotten [G] coward I [A] ought to be
[Bb] Billy Potter, you [F] never told me that I needed [A] a girl
[Bb] Billy Potter, when [F] you wrote you said that this place is [A] fun
What [Dm] have we done?
