Dont Take Your Guns To Town

Hey Y’all its Tin Man again giving you one of Country
Music’s big hits and a legendary classic
From the man in black himself!

DON’T FORGET TO VOTE AND ADD TO FAVOURITES!

3 4 4 -4 -4 5 5 5
A young cow-boy named Bil-ly Joe,

5 -4 4 -3 -3 4
grew rest-less on the farm.

3 4 -4 -4 5 5 5
A boy filled with won-der-lust

5 -4 4 -3 -3 4
who real-ly meant no harm.

4 -5 -5 6 6 -6 -6 -6
He changed his clothes, and shined his boots

-6 6 -5 -5 -5 -5
And combed his dark hair down.

3 3 4 4 -4 -4 5 5 5
And his moth-er cried as he walked out

(CHORUS)

5 -4 4 4 -3 4 5
Dont take your guns to town, son

-4 4 4 -3 4 5
Leave your guns at home Bill

4 -4 4 4 -3 4
Dont take your guns to town.

2.
He laughed and kissed his ma and said your Billy
Joes a man.
I can shoot as quick and straight as anybody can.
But I wouldn’t shoot without a cause Id gun nobody
down.
But she cried again as he rode away

(CHORUS)

He sang a song as on he rode his guns hung at his hips.
He rode into a cattle town a smile upon his lips.
He stopped and walked into a bar and laid his money down.
And his mother’s words echoed again:

(CHORUS)

He drank his first strong liqour then to calm his
shaking hand and tried to tell himself at last
he had become a man A dusty cowpoke at his side
began to laugh him down.
And he heard again his mothers words

(CHORUS)

Bill was raged and Billy Joe reached for his guns
to draw But the stranger drew his gun and fired
before he even saw As Billy Joe fell to the floor
the crowd all gathered round And wondered
at his final words

ENJOY!!
