[Verse 1]
[Am]Silence
In the steps of no-man's land
land
[G]Camp fire,
the smell of prairie [Am]wind
Men surround the blaze
Drink booze recall the day
'Til a [G]strangers voice rings
out to pray the [Am]sin

[Verse 2]
"The [D]man who pulls [F]his
gun'd be dead
before [Em]he moves [C]the trigger"
[Am]Scared to death no [G]one dared [C]to breathe
Billy [D]took [F]their money
Burst in[Em]to ringing [C]laughter
[Am]Stole a horse and left [C]the shattered [D]scene

[Verse 4]
[C][G]
[Am]Wanted
For the men he'd killed in vain
A [G]thousand dollars cash
on Billy's [Am]head
Hunted by a star
For the lives he'd left in pain
And the [G]day they met the
outlaw lost the [Am]game
The mar[D]shal held [F]his gun

[Verse 5]
Aimed at Billy's [Em]head
[C]with laughter
[Am]But the youngster was
to proud [G]for given' in[C]
Billy [Dm]felt [F]no pain
But he was shot, [Em]the law [C]was faster
[Am]Falling to his knees [C]he hit [D]the trail
Billy [Am]the Kid,

[Verse 6]
[C]beast of [D]prey
that won't be tamed
Billy [Am]the Kid, [C]loved the[D] thrill
[G]of deadly games
[Am]Billy the Kid, [C]a youngster a[D]nd

He knocked [Em]on heav
[C]en's door
[Am]'Til his maker opened up [C]to lead him in.
