Billys Bones Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

Intro melody

FBilly ran around with the A♯rare old crew

And he Fknew an ACrsenal from FTottenham blue

We'd be a Fdarn sight A♯better off Fif we Cknew

FWhere Billy's bones are A♯resting now

Billy saw a copper and he hit him in the knee

And he took him down from six foot to five foot three

Then he hit him fair and square in the do-re-mi

That copper won't be having any family

A♯Hey Billy son where are you now, Fdon't you know that we Cneed you now

With aFrataA♯ta and the Fold kow-Ctow Fwhere are Billy's bones A♯resting now

Billy went away with the peace-keeping force

'Cause he liked a bloody good fight of course

Went away in an old khaki van to the banks of the river Jordan

Billy saw the Arabs and he had 'em on the run

When he got 'em in the range of his sub-machine gun

Then he had the Israelis in his sights, went a ra-ta-ta

And they ran like Shiites

Hey Billy son where are you now

Don't you know that we need you now

With a ra-ta-ta and the old kow-tow

Where are Billy's bones resting now

Intro melody

2x)

Hey Billy son where are you now

Don't you know that we need you now

With a ra-ta-ta and the old kow-tow

Where are Billy's bones resting now

One night Billy had a rare old time,

Laughing and singing on the Lebanon line

Came back to camp not looking too pretty

Never even got to see the Holy City

Now FBilly's out there in the A♯desert sun

And his Fmother cries when the Cmorning comes

And there's Fmothers A♯crying all Fover this Cworld

For their poor dead darling boys and girls

Hey Billy son where are you now

Don't you know that we need you now

With a ra-ta-ta and the old kow-tow

Where are Billy's bones resting now
