Billy Joel

"The Ballad of Billy The Kid"

This is a kick-ass song for piano, but on guitar is sounds quite

good. These are the base chords and such, listen to the song to

get down the little licks.

Intro:

It starts off with a cool cowboy horse trot. It's played like this:

E---------

B---------

G---------

D---0-2-0-

A---------

E-3-------

Pre-Verse:

F F C   C F G

Verse:

G Em F   G Em F C D   G Em F C G Am7 D

Chorus:

C D Em Bm C C G   C D Em Bm C Dsus4 Dadd9 D

Bridge/Ending:

In the middle is the Bridge, which is the same as the Ending.

It's played like this:

E---------------------

B---------------------

G-----0-0---2-0-------

D-0-2-----2-----2-2-0-

A---------------------

E---------------------

And ended like this:

E---------------------

B---------------------

G---------------------

D---------------2-0---

A---0-3-3-3-0-------3-

E-3-----------3-------

So the order is:

I V PV V PV V PV C V PV B PV V PV C V PV E

I - Intro

PV - Pre-Verse

V - Verse

C - Chorus

B - Bridge

E - Ending

And thats it! Listen to the song to get the timings and the strum

pattern and the tempos right, because those all change quite a few

times. They wont let me post the lyrics, but they are rather simple

to get. Rock on.
