G#D#G#
A young cowboy named Billy Joe grew restless on the farm.
G#D#G#
A boy filled with wonder lust who really meant no harm.
C#
He changed his clothes and shined his boots
and combed his dark hair down.
G#
And his mother cried as he walked out
C#G#
Donʼt take your guns to town, son.
C#G#C#G#
Leave your guns at home, Bill, Donʼt take your guns to town...
G#D#G#
He laughed and kissed his mom and said: "Your Billy Joeʼs a man.
G#D#G#
I can shoot as quick and straight as anybody can.
C#
But I wouldnʼt shoot without a cause Iʼd gun nobody down."
G#
But she cried again as he rode away
C#G#
Donʼt take your guns to town, son.
C#G#C#G#
Leave your guns at home, Bill, Donʼt take your guns to town...
G#D#G#
He sang a song as on he rode, his guns hung at his hips.
G#D#G#
He rode into a cattle town, a smile upon his lips.
C#
He stopped and walked into a bar and laid his money down
G#
But his motherʼs words echoed again
C#G#
Donʼt take your guns to town, son.
C#G#C#G#
Leave your guns at home, Bill Donʼt take your guns to town...
G#D#G#
He drank his first strong liqueur then to calm his shaking hand
G#D#G#
And tried to tell himself at last he had become a man.
C#
A dusty cowpoke at his side began to laugh him down.
G#
And he heard again his motherʼs words
C#G#
Donʼt take your guns to town, son.
C#G#C#G#
Leave your guns at home, Bill, Donʼt take your guns to town...
G#D#G#
Filled with rage then Billy Joe reached for his gun to draw
G#D#G#
But the stranger drew his gun and fired before he even saw
C#
As Billy Joe fell to the floor the crowd all gathered round
G#C#G#
And wondered at his final words Donʼt take your guns to town, son.
C#G#C#G#
Leave your guns at home, Bill, Donʼt take your guns to town...
