[Verse 2]
[G]
Well he started with [Em]a bank in Color[F]ado
In the [G]pocket of [Em]his vest,
a Colt [F]he hid[D]
And his [G]age and [Em]his size
Took the [F]teller by sur[C]prise
[G]And, [Am]the word spread
[Dsus4]of Billy the kid
[F][C]

[Verse 3]
[G]
Well he [C]never traveled [D]heavy
Yes he [Em]always rode [Bm]alone
And he [C]soon put many
[D]older guns [F]to shame
And he [C]never had a sweet[D]heart
And he [Em]never had [Bm]a home
But the [C]cowboy and the rancher
knew his [Dsus4]name[D]

[Verse 4]
Well he [G]robbed his way [Em]from Utah
to Oklaho[F]ma
And the [G]largest could not [Em]seem
to track him [F]down[D]
And it [G]served his legend [Em]well
For the [F]folks they loved [C]to tell [G]about
[Am]When Billy the k[D]id came to town.
