Billy Brown Chords
[Verse]
Oh Billy GBrown had lived an ordinary Dlife,
Two kids, a dGog, and a cautionary Cwife
While it was Gall going according to Cplan,
Then Billy BrGown fell in loDve with another mGan.
He met his loGver almost every single Dday,
Making excGuses through his dodgy holiCday
Unto relGigion that he said he'd newlCy found,
They didn’t knGow that hDis faith was earthlGy bound
[Chorus]
BrGown… Oh Billy BrCown
Don’t let the sAmtars get you dDown,
Don’t let the wAmaves let you dDrown
BrGown… Oh Billy BCrown
Gonna pick you Amup like a paper Dcup,
Gonna shake the Amwater out of every Dnook
Oh, Billy BCrownD  
[Verse]
Oh Billy BrGown needed a place, somewhere to Dgo,
He found an isGland off the coast of MexiCco
Leaving his lGover and his family behiCnd,
Oh Billy BroGwn needed to fiDnd some peace of miGnd.
And on his joGurney and his travels on the Dway,
He met a gGirlie who was brave enough to sCay,
When they made loGve he shared the burden of his mCind,
Oh Billy BrGown you are a vDictim of the tiGmes
[Chorus]
BrGown… Oh Billy BCrown
Don’t let the sAmtars get you dDown,
Don’t let the wAmaves let you dDrown
BrGown… Oh Billy BCrown
Gonna pick you Amup like a paper Dcup,
Gonna shake the Amwater out of every Dnook
Oh, Billy BCrownD  
[Instrumental]

BrGown… Oh BillCy Brown
Gonna pick you Amup like a papDer cup,
Gonna shake thAme water out of Devery nook
Oh, Billy BrCown.D  
[Verse]
Oh Billy GBrown had lived an ordinary Dlife,
Two kids, a dGog, and a cautionary Cwife
While it was Gall going according to Cplan,
Then Billy BrGown fell in loDve with another mGan.
