Billy Brown

        G                           C
Oh Billy Brown had lived an ordinary life.
            G                     D
Two kids, a dog, and a cautionary wife.
             G                     C
While it was all going according to plan
           Bm            D                 G
Then Billy Brown fell in love with another man.
           G                         C
He met his lover almost every single day
            G                          D
Making excuses through his (dodly) holiday
           G                         C
(Unto religion that he said and duty found
            Bm        D                   G
They didn’t know his faith was (earthlic) bound)


G              C
Brown…Oh Billy Brown.
              Am            Bm
Don’t let the stars get you down.
              Am            Bm
Don’t let the waves let you drown.
G              C
Brown…Oh Billy Brown.
                Am           Bm
Gonna pick you up like a paper cup.
                Am           Bm
Gonna shake the water out of every nook.
    D    G
Oh Billy Brown.
         G                                  C
Oh Billy Brown needed a place, somewhere to go.
            G                       D
He found an island off the coast of Mexico
            G                    C
Leaving his lover and his family behind.
         Bm              D                  G
Oh Billy Brown needed to find some peace of mind.

           G                              C
And on his journey and his travels on the way,
            G                           D
He met a girlie who was brave enough to say,
               G                                C
When they made love he shared the burden of his mind.
          Bm             D             G
Oh Billy Brown you are a victim of the times.


G              C
Brown…Oh Billy Brown.
              Am            Bm
Don’t let the stars get you down.
              Am            Bm
Don’t let the waves let you drown.
G              C

              Am            Bm
Gonna pick you up like a paper cup.
              Am            Bm
Gonna shake the water out of every nook.
