Billy Porter

Am        Am       Am       Am G
Am        Am       Am       Am G

Am                           Am                               Em           Em
Walking down an empty road I saw a man in old grey clothes, a stranger;
Am                             Am                           Em           Em
passing by he smiled at me but when I looked I realised the danger.
        F                   G         C         C
For his eyes they looked so empty and cold
              F                G        C         C
and something told me that I'm gonna be rolled;
      F           G                   C                  D           G        E
in my pocket only cents and dimes but then for them he'd gladly kill me.

Am                              Am                            Em           Em
Walking past and walking fast I managed just to slip around a corner,
Am                                   Am                                   Em           Em
thought he'd hear my running feet as I went pounding down the street like thunder.
           F              G             C         C
Well, I've never heard my heart beat so fast
         F             G             C         C
and I've never been so scared in the past.
      F          G             C                   D       E             E
And I never ever realised that this place could be evil to me.

      F       F            C                       E
Billy Porter,   you didn't tell me that I needed a gun.
      F       F          C                                 E
Billy Porter,   when you wrote you said that this place is fun.

            Am        Am
What have I done?
Am        Am       E       E
Am        Am       E       E
[Part of Verse 2] (Reprise)
           F              G             C         C
Well, I've never heard my heart beat so fast
         F             G             C         C
and I've never been so scared in the past.
      F          G             C                   D       G   E
And I never ever realised that this place could be evil to me,   let me tell ya'.

     Am                                    Am
Now, Billy's smart and Billy's tough, he's good to have,
                          Em           Em
when the going's rough he told me:
Am                                     Am                             Em           Em
"Don't go out on your own at night for if you do you'll have to fight stay by me".
         F           G              C         C
Now he's teaching me each and every day
      F                  G             C         C
and I think that in this place I might stay.
      F           G               C                 D           E         E
And I never, ever realised what a roughneck I would turn out to be.

      F       F            C                       E
