^G Well, h^Ge started with a ^Embank in colo^Frado In the ^Gpocket of hi^Ems vest, a colt he^F h^Cid^D And his ^Gage and his size^Em Took the tel^Fler by surpr^Cise A^Gnd the w^Am7ord spread o^Df billy the k^Fid^{F C}

Well, he ^Cnever traveled h^Deavy Yes, he a^Emlways rode al^Bmone And he s^Coon put many older guns to sh^Game And he ^Cnever had a sweeth^Deart And he ^Emnever had a h^Bmome But the ^Ccowboy and the rancher knew^Dsus4 his n^Dadd9ame ^D

W^Gell, he ^Grobbed his way^Em from Utah to O^Fklahoma And the l^Gaw just could not ^Emseem to track him^F d^Cow^Dn And it ser^Gved his legend w^Emell For the folks^F, they'd love t^Co tell 'Bou^Gt when B^Am7illy the Kid^D came to town
