Billy Chords by Waylon Jennings

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Billy, _ _ [C] we've [D] come a long [G] way together
_ _ [C] _ _ [D] And [Bm] through it all, you've [C] been just like a brother [D] to me _ _ _ _ _
_ [G] And Billy, _ _ [C] _ [D] we've had our share [G] of ups and downs
_ [C] _ [D] Rows of tails [Bm] sleeping on the ground
_ [C] When the jobs were few [D] and far between _ _ _ _ _
_ [G] We've been knocking round [C] together so long
_ [D] Singing them same [G] old songs
Been out in the rain [C] so long
[Am] I swear [D] we're swinging, _ _ _ _ _
_ [G] Billy
_ _ [C] _ [D] Lately I have [G] done some thinking
_ _ [C] _ [D] When I look back [Bm] on our lives
_ [C] _ We've sure had [D] ourselves a time _ _ _ _ _
[G] But you know, _ _ [C] _ [D] it's been a wild [G] world we've traveled
_ _ [C] _ [D] And it's starting [Bm] to unravel
_ [C] We leave so many loose [D] ends behind
_ _ [Bm] _ [D] _ _
[G] We've been bucked off and kicked [C] so many times
[D] And the ground just keeps [G] getting harder
Billy, you know [C] well as I
[Am] We ain't getting [D] no younger _ _ _ _ _
_ [Em] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _
_ [Am] _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [G] Billy, _ [C] another _ [D] summer's [G] come and gone _
_ [C] And [D] now with winter [Bm] coming on
I [C] know we planned on [D] heading south
But _ _ _ _ [G] Billy, _
_ [C] _ [D] I've thought about [G] it several days
And [C] _ _ [D] these words [B] I'm about to say
[Bm]
They [C] _ _ don't taste [D] good in my mouth _
_ _ _ _ [G] But there's someone who's waiting [C] back home
_ [D] Lord, if [G] she'll still have me
Yes, I'll be saying [C] so long
[Am] You go [D] on without me _
_ _ _ [Am] Ain't no easy way of [D] saying goodbye _ _ _ _ _ _
[Am] So be sure and tell them all
[D] Down in Texas, _ [Em] I said hi
_ _ [C] _ _ [D] _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
