Verse 1: 
 
D7 
Strapped on my holster low across my hips 
 
 
Two Colt .45's with white plastic grips 
 
    G 
And I'd head west through our neighborhood 
 
               D7 
And they'd say 'Here comes young Billy 
 
 
And he's up to no good'... yeah 
 
 
 
Verse 2: 
 
D7 
I rode a trail through the neighbor's back yard 
 
 
Shooting the bad guys through my handlebars 
 
G 
Known for my bravery both far and near 
 
D7 
Being late for supper was my only fear 
 
 
Chorus: 
 
A                G 
I miss Billy the kid 
 
                  D 
The times that he had 
 
                 A  
The life that he lived 
 
A                      G 
I guess he must've got caught 
 
              D 
His innocence lost 
 
                  A 
I wonder where he is 
 
Cadd9                D7 
I miss Billy the kid 
 
 
Verse 3: 
 
D7 
These days I don't know whose side to be on 
 
 
There's such a thin line between right and wrong 
 
G 
I live and learn, do the best I can 
 
D7 
There's only so much you can do as a man 
 
 
Chorus: 
 
A                G 
I miss Billy the kid 
 
                  D 
The times that he had 
 
                 A  
The life that he lived 
 
A                      G 
I guess he must've got caught 
 
              D 
His innocence lost 
 
                  A 
I wonder where he is 
 
Cadd9                D7 
I miss Billy the kid
