From a town known as Wheeling, West Virginia,      rode a boy with a six-gun in his hand
        G               Em                F             C

Well, he started with a bank in Colorado, in the pocket of his vest, a Colt he hid
        G            Em             F             C 
And his age and his size, took the teller by surprise
G    Am7               D7sus         F/G - C/G   C/G - F/G - G
And    the word spread  of Billy the Kid

         C            C/D             G7sus                    
And he soon put many older guns to shame
         C           D                 Em          Bm 
And he never had a sweetheart, and he never had a home
        C                                    Dsus4   D
But the cowboy and the rancher knew his name

And it served his legend well, for the folks, they loved to tell

Well, one cold day a posse captured Billy,   and the judge said, "String 'im up for what he did!"
         G                Em             F               C

       C                                       Dsus4   D
Underneath the boothill grave that bears his name
