Standard (EADGBE)

I've just seen trouble: he's calling out your name tonite

Billy get your guns

You could walk away but I know you were born to fight

So Billy get your guns

The bandileros are strung out in the promenade

Billy get your guns

And the wind whispers softly that the devilís to blame

Billy get your guns

 Billy get your guns, there's trouble blowing like a hurricane

 Billy get your guns, that's the price on your head

 For the price of fame and it'll never change...Billy get your guns

There's a whiskey bottle empty sittin' on the bar

Billy get your guns

And some organ grinder singing about some sucker moving on

Billy get your guns

All the whores are hanging out waiting to get paid

Billy get your guns

From some Johnny on the spot who said, "Aey, keep the change baby"

Billy get your guns

(Chorus)

 They christened you with whiskey

 And there's fire running through your veins

 Well you're an outlaw just the same

 And every night a bullet wears your name

(Chorus)

I've seen hangman dancing beneath the pale moonlight

Billy get your guns

And every stranger that you meet thinks it's his lucky night

Billy get your guns

 I don't envy you, Billy, but I want to say you better get your guns

 'Cause every outlaw that's died will live to ride again

Billy get your guns
