Waylon Jennings - Billy

      
 
 performed by Waylon Jennings.
 
 Capo on the 2nd fret.
 
 Between E and A,put a E7,it sounds better.
 
 Verse 1:
 E     A             B          E    
  Billy,we've come along way together
 A       B       G#m 
  And through it all
              A                      B 
 You've been just like a brother to me
 E         A                B               E   
  And Billy,we've had our share of ups and downs
 A           B                      G#m 
  Froze our tails sleeping on the ground
           A                        B  
 When the jobs were few and far between
 
 Chorus 1:
 B             E                          A  
  We've been knocking around together so long
  B                     E   
 Singing them same old songs
                          A       F#m          B     
 Been out in the rain so long,i swear we're shrinking
 
 Verse 2:
 E     A          B               E     
  Billy,lately i have done some thinking
 A        B                G#m 
  When i look back on our lives
 A                          B  
  We've sure had ourself a time
           E A             B                E   
 But you know,it's been a wild world we traveled
 A           B            G#m 
  And it's starting to unravel
 A                               B  
  We leave so many loose ends behind
 
 Chorus 2:
 B            E                             A   
  We've been bucked off and kicked so many times
           B                        E    
 And the ground just keeps getting harder
                        A         F#m          B     
 Billy,you know well as i,we ain't getting no younger
 
 Verse 3:
 E     A          B                E  
  Billy,another summer's come and gone
 A          B            G#m 
  Now with winter coming on
     A                         B   
 I know we planned on heading south
      E   A            B               E  
 But Billy,i thought about it several days
 A           B                 G#m 
  And these words i'm about to say
 A                             B   
  They don't taste good in my mouth
 
 Chorus 3:
 B             E                          A  
  But there's someone who's waiting back home
  B                    E     
 Lord,if she'll still have me
                          A   F#m           B     
 Guess i'll be saying so long,you go on without me
 
 End:
 B         F#m                     B 
  Ain't no easy way of saying goodbye
        F#m                           B           C#m 
 So be sure and tell 'em all down in Texas,i said Hi
