Billy Brown Chords

[Verse]
 
        G                            D
Oh Billy Brown had lived an ordinary life,
             G                    C
Two kids, a dog, and a cautionary wife
             G                     C
While it was all going according to plan,
             G             D  
Then Billy Brown fell in love 
              G
with another man.
 
 
             G                       D
He met his lover almost every single day,
          G                          C
Making excuses through his dodgy holiday
        G                           C
Unto religion that he said he'd newly found,
              G        D        
They didn’t know that his faith 
          G
was earthly bound
 
 
[Chorus]
 
  G               C
Brown… Oh Billy Brown
               Am            D
Don’t let the stars get you down,
               Am            D
Don’t let the waves let you drown
  G              C
Brown… Oh Billy Brown
               Am              D
Gonna pick you up like a paper cup,
                Am                 D
Gonna shake the water out of every nook
           C           D
Oh, Billy Brown
 
 
[Verse]
 
           G                   
Oh Billy Brown needed a place, 
             D
somewhere to go,
              G                         C
He found an island off the coast of Mexico
             G                       C
Leaving his lover and his family behind,
            G              D  
Oh Billy Brown needed to find 
                G
some peace of mind.
 
 
             G                            D
And on his journey and his travels on the way,
          G                              C
He met a girlie who was brave enough to say,
                 G            
When they made love he shared 
                   C
the burden of his mind,
           G              D              G
Oh Billy Brown you are a victim of the times
 
 
[Chorus]
 
  G              C
Brown… Oh Billy Brown
               Am            D
Don’t let the stars get you down,
               Am            D
Don’t let the waves let you drown
  G              C
Brown… Oh Billy Brown
               Am              D
Gonna pick you up like a paper cup,
                Am                 D
Gonna shake the water out of every nook
           C           D
Oh, Billy Brown

              Am            D
Gonna pick you up like a paper cup,
              Am            D
Gonna shake the water out of every nook
            C         D
Oh, Billy Brown.

Then Billy Brown fell in love
