        D               C
In the days of William Bonney
         D                C
Better known as Bill the Kid
   D                  C
A young cowboy named Joey Steele
      D
Was 'bout to make his bid
            D
Well, they heard one day
      C               D              C
That Bill the Kid had just rode into town
       D
And if he could take him
C           D
He would be fastest gun around
        D              C
He was just a kid of seventeen
        D              C
But he had a lightin' hand
        D                 C
And he said it's time I showed the world
      D
That I've become a man
 D               C
Everyone thinks Billy is
     D           C
The fastest gun around
     D                  C
But they will know I'm faster
           D
When they see me shoot him down
       G             F
They finally came together
         G                   F
Down on Main Street just at five
     G                F
The people were all gathered
           G
Wonderin' who'd be left alive
 G               F
Billy knew that Joey wanted
 G             F
Notches on his gun
        G                    F
And he wished that he could give him
             G
Those he'd carved upon his own
 D               C
Joey's hand went to his side
        D                C
He was sure that he had won
      D             C
But before he even fired he saw
     D
The smoke of Billy's gun
        D               C
And he felt the bullet hit him hard
      D                C
And before his eyes he saw
     D                 C
His wasted life pass quickly
        D
Ending with this fatal draw
  D                  C
Billy breathed more easily
       D             C
And he put away his gun
        D                 C
And he tried to ease his conscience
         D
For the wrong that he had done
         D              C
Then he saddled up his horse
            D               C
And headed westward out of town
        D                 C
And he wondered just how long he'd be
     D                   C     D
The fastest gun around...(hold out for a while following the chords)
