[A] A young cowboy named Billy Joe grew [E7] restless on the [A] farm
A boy filled with wanderlust who [E7] really meant no [A] harm
He [D] changed his clothes and shined his boots and combed his dark hair down
And his [A] mother cried as he walked out
Don't [D] Take Your Guns To [A] Town son
[D] Leave your guns at [A] home Bill
Don't [D] Take Your Guns To [A] Town
He laughed and kissed his mom and said [E7] your Billy Joe's a [A] man
I can shoot as quick and straight as [E7] anybody [A] can
But I'd [D] wouldn't shoot without a cause
I'd gun nobody down but she [E7] cried again as he [A] rode away
Don't [D] Take Your Guns To [A] Town son
[D] Leave your guns at [A] home Bill
Don't [D] Take Your Guns To [A] Town
He sang a song as on he rode his [E7] guns hung at his [A] hips
He rode into a cattle town a [E7] smile upon his [A] lips
He [D] stopped and walked into a bar and laid his money down
But his [A] mother's words echoed again
Don't [D] Take Your Guns To [A] Town son
[D] Leave your guns at [A] home Bill
Don't [D] Take Your Guns To [A] Town
He drank his first strong liquor then to [E7] calm his shaking [A] hand
And tried to tell himself at last he [E7] had become a [A] man
A [D] dusty cowpoke at his side began to laugh him down
And he [E7] heard again his [A] mother's words
Don't [D] Take Your Guns To [A] Town son
[D] Leave your guns at [A] home Bill
Don't [D] Take Your Guns To [A] Town
Bill was raged and Billy Joe reached [E7] for his gun to [A] draw
But the stranger drew his gun and fired [E7] before he even [A] saw
As [D] Billy Joe fell to the floor the crowd all gathered around
And [A] wondered at his final words
Bill was raged and Billy Joe reached [E7] for his gun to [A] draw
But the stranger drew his gun and fired [E7] before he even [A] saw
As [D] Billy Joe fell to the floor the crowd all gathered around
And [A] wondered at his final words
Don't [D] Take Your Guns To [A] Town son
[D] Leave your guns at [A] home Bill
Don't [D] Take Your Guns To [A] Town
