This is a great song from Bob Dylan's album Pat Garrett & Billy The Kid.
[Intro]
A
[Verse 1]
A Asus4 A
There's guns across the river about to pound you
A Asus4 A
There's a lawman on your trail like to surround you
D A Asus4 A
Bounty hunters are dancing all around you
E A Asus4 A
Billy, they don't like you to be so free.
[Verse 2]
A Asus4 A
Camping out all night on the veranda
A Asus4 A
Walking in the streets down by the hacienda
D A Asus4 A
Up to Boot Hill they'd like to send ya
E A Asus4 A
Billy, don't you turn your back on me.
[Verse 3]
A Asus4 A
There's mills inside the minds of crazy faces
A Asus4 A
Bullet holes and rifles in their cases
D A Asus4 A
There is always one more notch in four more aces
E A Asus4 A
Billy, and you're playing all alone.
[Verse 4]
A Asus4 A
Playing around with some sweet signorita
A Asus4 A
Into her dark chamber she will greet ya
D A Asus4 A
In the shadows of the maizes she will lead you
E A Asus4 A
Billy, and you're going all alone.
[Verse 5]
A Asus4 A Asus4 A
They say that Pat Garrett's got your number
A Asus4 A Asus4 A
So sleep with one eye open, when you wander
D A
Every little sound just might be thunder
E A Asus4 A
Thunder from the barrel of his gun.
[Harmonica - Break]
A Asus4 A
A Asus4 A
D A
E A Asus4 A
[Verse 6]
A Asus4 A
There's always another stranger sneaking glances
A Asus4 A
Some trigger-happy fool willing to take chances
D A Asus4 A
Some old whore from San Pedro'll make advances
E A Asus4 A
Advances on your spirit and your soul.
[Verse 7]
A Asus4 A
The businessmen from Taos want you to go down
A Asus4 A
So they've hired mister Garrett, he'll force you to slow down
D A Asus4 A
Billy, don't let it make you feel so low down
E A Asus4 A
To be hunted by the man who was your friend.
[Verse 8]
A Asus4 A
So hang on to your woman, if you got one
A Asus4 A
Remember in El Paso once you shot one
D A
I'll be in Santa Fe-a about one
E A Asus4 A
Billy, you've been running for so long.
[Verse 9]
A Asus4 A
Gypsy queens will play your grand finale
A Asus4 A
Way down in some Tula - rosa alley
D A
Maybe in La Rio Pecas valley
E A Asus4 A
Billy, you're so far away from home
E A Asus4 A
Billy, you're so far away from home
E A Asus4 A
Billy, you're so far away from home
