INTRO:
D7                                           G
If you're listenin' Billy Christian, come on home. 

CHORUS:
G                                         C
Are you listening Billy Christian, if you are 

then go on home. 
     D7                                    G
Everything is like you left it, she spends all 

her time alone. 
G                                        C
All that music never thrills her like it did when 

you were there. 
      D7                            G....Ab A
Go on home, Billy Christian, if you care. 

#2.    
A                                     D
What a team they were together, Billy Christian 

and his wife. 
       E                                    A
People loved to hear them singin', that was their 

success in life .
A                                        D
But the eyes of Billy Christian were the wild and 

wandering kind. 
     E                               A....G
Now, Billy's wife sings solo all the time. 

CHORUS:
G                                         C
Are you listening Billy Christian, if you are 

then go on home. 
     D7                                    G
Everything is like you left it, she spends all 

her time alone. 
G                                        C
All that music never thrills her like it did when 

you were there. 
      D7                            G....Ab A
Go on home, Billy Christian, if you care. 

#3.
A                                         D
All the fellows tried to date her but she never 

blinked an eye. 
      E                                     A......G
Every night she sings the same sad song and cries.

BRIDGE:
G                                      C
Now, where is Billy Christian, does he ever hear 

the song?
     D                                 G
Does Billy Christian know he's welcome home?

CHORUS:
G                                         C
Are you listening Billy Christian, if you are 

then go on home. 
     D7                                    G
Everything is like you left it, she spends all 

her time alone. 
G                                        C
All that music never thrills her like it did when 

you were there. 
      D7                            G
Go on home, Billy Christian, if you care. 


OUTRO:
      D7                            G
Go on home, Billy Christian, if you care.
