[Verse 1]
G           Am           D             G    D
Billy's lady told him-let this be understood
G               Am                 D
somethin' better happen soon cause things don't
         G  G/F# Em             C       F#
look too good---tired of savin' pennies-tryin' to
          D  C  G               Am
make ends meet-come next Monday afternoon-we're
D                   G      D
gonna be out in the street


[Verse 2]
G                Am    D            G      D
Billy thought it over-he said with a smile
G                  Am         D             G   G/F#
everything's gonna be alright-just a little while
Em            C      F#                D   C
gotta get down to it-pack my things and go
G             Am           D                  G    E7
he put on his tennis shoes-walked out into the snow


[Chorus]
A                     Bm                E
Oh, Billy Tyler do you remember what you said
A                                       Bm
does your conscience get you when you're lyin'
        E    D
in your bed. Does it make you sorry for the
A                       D
things that you've done-do you feel repentance
       A                  A               Bm
on the tip of your tongue-did you have to grab
                D   F#* G Gmaj7
your things and ru---n


[Verse 3]
G              Am        D        G       D
She received a postcard, South of England way
G            Am           D                 G  G/F#
said I found myself a job-here at Whitesand Bay
Em               C     F#              D  C
sendin' you some money-so that you can eat
G                  Am         D                  G    E7
everything's gonna be alright-soon be back on my feet


[Chorus]
A                     Bm                E
Oh, Billy Tyler do you remember what you said
A                                       Bm
does your conscience get you when you're lyin'
        E    D
in your bed. Does it make you sorry for the
A                       D
things that you've done -do you feel repentance
       A                  A               Bm
on the tip of your tongue-did you have to grab
                D   F#* G Gmaj7
your things and ru---n
