[Verse]
        G                            D
Oh Billy Brown had lived an ordinary life,

             G                    C
Two kids, a dog, and a cautionary wife

             G                     C
While it was all going according to plan,

             G             D                G
Then Billy Brown fell in love with another man.

             G                       D
He met his lover almost every single day,

          G                          C
Making excuses through his dodgy holiday

        G                           C
Unto religion that he said he'd newly found,

              G        D                  G
They didn’t know that his faith was earthly bound
[Chorus]
  G               C
Brown… Oh Billy Brown

               Am            D
Don’t let the stars get you down,

               Am            D
Don’t let the waves let you drown

  G              C
Brown… Oh Billy Brown

               Am              D
Gonna pick you up like a paper cup,

                Am                 D
Gonna shake the water out of every nook

           C           D
Oh, Billy Brown
[Verse]
           G                                D
Oh Billy Brown needed a place, somewhere to go,

              G                         C
He found an island off the coast of Mexico

             G                       C
Leaving his lover and his family behind,

            G              D                  G
Oh Billy Brown needed to find some peace of mind.

             G                            D
And on his journey and his travels on the way,

          G                              C
He met a girlie who was brave enough to say,

                 G                               C
When they made love he shared the burden of his mind,

           G              D              G
Oh Billy Brown you are a victim of the times
[Chorus]
  G              C
Brown… Oh Billy Brown

               Am            D
Don’t let the stars get you down,

               Am            D
Don’t let the waves let you drown

  G              C
Brown… Oh Billy Brown

               Am              D
Gonna pick you up like a paper cup,

                Am                 D
Gonna shake the water out of every nook

           C           D
Oh, Billy Brown
[Instrumental] G G7 C G Am D Am D [Chorus]
  G           C
Brown… Oh Billy Brown

              Am            D
Gonna pick you up like a paper cup,

              Am            D
Gonna shake the water out of every nook

            C         D
Oh, Billy Brown.
