Billy Brown

G                           C
Oh Billy Brown had lived an ordinary life. 
            G                     D
Two kids, a dog, and a cautionary wife.
             G                     C 
While it was all going according to plan
           Bm            D                 G
Then Billy Brown fell in love with another man. 
           G                         C
He met his lover almost every single day
            G                          D
Making excuses through his (dodly) holiday
           G                         C
(Unto religion that he said and duty found
            Bm        D                   G

Don’t let the stars get you down.

Don’t let the waves let you drown.

Brown…Oh Billy Brown.

Gonna pick you up like a paper cup.

Oh Billy Brown. 
         G                                  C
Oh Billy Brown needed a place, somewhere to go.
            G                       D 
He found an island off the coast of Mexico
            G                    C 
Leaving his lover and his family behind. 
         Bm              D                  G
Oh Billy Brown needed to find some peace of mind. 


           G                              C
And on his journey and his travels on the way,

            G                           D 
He met a girlie who was brave enough to say,

               G                                C 
When they made love he shared the burden of his mind.

          Bm             D             G 
Oh Billy Brown you are a victim of the times.
