Tonart: A major
Verse 1
G
A young cowboy named Billy Joe
D
G
grew restless on the farm.
A boy filled with wonderlust
D
G
who really meant no harm.
and shined his boots
and combed his dark hair
down.
G
And his mother cried as he walked out,
C
G
Don't take your guns to town, son.
C
G
Leave your guns at home, Bill.
C
G
Don't take your guns to town.
He laughed and kissed his mom
and said,
D
G
You're Billy Joe's a man.
I can shoot as quick and straight
D
G
as anybody can.
C
But I wouldn't shoot without a cause,
I'd lay nobody down
G
D
G
But he cried again as he rode away
C
G
Don't take your guns to town, son
C
G
Leave your guns at home, Bill
C
G
Don't take your guns to town
D
G
He sang a song as on
D
G
he rode his gun slung at his hips.
D
G
He rode into a cattle town,
D
G
a smile upon his lips.
C
He stopped and walked into a bar
and laid his money down,
G
D
G
C
G
but his mother's words echoed again.
C
G
Don't take your guns to town, son.
C
G
Leave your guns at home, Bill.
C
G
Don't take your guns to town.
He drank his first strong liquor,
D
then to calm his shaken hand
G
And tried to tell himself at last
D
G
he had become a man
C
A dusty cowpoke at his side
began to laugh him down
G
D
And he heard again his
G
C
mother's words
G
Don't take your guns to town, son
C
G
Leave your guns at home, Bill
C
G
Don't take your guns to town
D
G
Bill was raged and Billy Joe
D
reached for his gun to drop
G
But the stranger drew his gun
D
and fired before he even saw
G
C
As Billy Joel fell to the floor,
the crowd all gathered round,
G
C
G
and wondered at his final words.
C
G
Don't take your guns to town, son.
C
G
Leave your guns at home, Bill.
C
G
Don't take your guns to town.
