{c: }
[C] [Em] [Dm] [G] [G7] [C]  
[Dm] The marchin' band came [G] down along main street,   
[C] The soldier blues fell in behind.   
[Dm] I looked across and [G] there I saw Billy,   
[C] Waiting to go and join the line,   
[Dm] And with her head u[G]pon his shoulder   
[Dm] his young and lovely [G] fiancée.   
[Dm] From where I stood I [G] saw she was cryin',   
[Dm] And through her tears I [G] heard her say :  
{c: } 
  
[C] Billy, don't be a [Em] hero, don't be a [Dm] fool with your life   
[G] Billy, don't be a [G7] hero, come back and [C] make me your wife   
And as [C] Billy started to [C7] go, she said, [F] keep your pretty head [Fm] low,   
[C] Billy, don't be [G] hero, come back to [C] me !   
{c: } 
[Dm] The soldier blues were [G] trapped on a hillside,    
[C] The battle raging all around,   
[Dm] The sergeant cried, “We've [G] got to hang on boys!   
[C] We've got to hold this piece of ground !   
[Dm] I need a volunteer to [G] ride up,   
[Dm] And bring us back some [G] extra men.”   
[Dm] And Billy's hand was [G] up in a moment,   
[Dm] Forgettin' all the [G] words she said    
{c: }
She [G] said :                              
[C] Billy, don't be a [Em] hero, don't be a [Dm] fool with your life !   
[G] Billy, don't be a [G7] hero, come back and [C] make me your wife !   
And as [C] Billy started to [C7] go, she said, [F] keep your pretty head [Fm] low,   
[C] Billy, don't be [G] hero, come back to [C] me!   
{c: } 
[Dm] I heard his fian[G]cée got a letter [C] that told how Billy died that day.   
[Dm] The letter said that [G] he was a hero, [C] she should be proud he died that way.   
[Dm] I heard she threw the [G] letter a[C] way.   
[C] [Em] [Dm] [G] [G7] [C] x 3   
{c: Or play this ending from above} 
She [Ab] said :                              
[Db] Billy, don't be a  hero, don't be a [Ebm] fool with your life   
[Ab] Billy, don't be a  hero, come back and [Db] make me your wife   
And as [Db] Billy started to [Db7] go, she said, [F#] keep your pretty head [F#m] low,   
[Db] Billy, don't be [Ab] hero, come back to [Db] me!   
{c: } 
[Ebm] I heard his fian[Ab]cée got a letter [Db] that told how Billy died that day.   
[Ebm] The letter said that [Ab] he was a hero, [Db] she should be proud he died that way.   
[Ebm] I heard she threw the [Ab] letter a[Db] way.   
[Db] [Fm] [Ebm] [Ab] [Ab7] [Db] x 3
