[Verse 1]
Am G In the southern part of Texas, east and west of El Paso Am Where the mighty Franklin Mountains guard the trail to Mexico G Theres a new made widow cryin' and a hearse a-rollin slow Em Am And I guess that Devil's passed this way again
[Verse 2]
Am G Theres a lathered sorrel stallion runnin through the Joshua Trees Am A young man in the saddle with his coat tails in the breeze G Got a six gun on his right hip and a rifle at his knee Em Am And he's dealin' in a game that he can't win
[Chorus]
Am G Poor Billy Bonney, you're only twenty-one Am Pat Garrett's got your name on every bullet in his gun G Each notch you carved on your six-gun's got a bloody tale to tell Em Am Well, you're a mile ahead of Garrett and a step outside of hell
[Verse 3]
Am G Them fancy clothes you're wearin' and the women in your bed Am Can't take away the faces of the men that you left dead G As you ride across the badlands with a price upon your head Em Am Now that wheel of fortune starts to turn
[Verse 4]
Am G Your reputation's grown 'til its the biggest in the land Am And there ain't a lot of people left who wanna call your hand G And I guess you'll go down shootin' just like all branded men Em Am And when you shake hands with the Devil you get burned
[Chorus]
Am G Poor Billy Bonney, you're only twenty-one Am Pat Garrett's got your name on every bullet in his gun G Each notch you carved on your six-gun's got a bloody tale to tell Em Am Well, you're a mile ahead of Garrett and a step outside of hell
[Instrumental]
Am G Em Am G Em Am G Em
[Chorus]
Am G Poor Billy Bonney, you're only twenty-one Am Pat Garrett's got your name on every bullet in his gun G Each notch you carved on your six-gun's got a bloody tale to tell Em Am You're a mile ahead of Garrett and a step outside of hell
