Tiger Lillies - Billy's blues
Am
Billy’s in the drugstore
Dm
Seven nights a week
E
Fills himself so full of drugs
Am
He can hardly speak
Am
Then he goes out working
Dm
Selling what he can
E
If you’ve got the money
Am
You can be his man
Dm
Billy’s blue
E Am
He’s drugstore blue
Am
Well Billy sends me letters
Dm
Everything is fine
E
Drug rehabilitation programme’s
Am
Gonna work this time
Am

Dm
He’s in jail
E Am
Can I post the bail
Dm
Billy’s blue
E Am
He’s drugstore blue
Am
Well last time I saw Billy
Dm
He was suckin’ off a man
E
Other men were watching
Am
And he didn’t give a damn
Am
Now I look at Billy
Dm
And he’s lyin’ on a slab
E
His funeral arrangements
Am
And we’re feeling sad
Dm
Billy’s blue
E Am
He’s drugstore blue
Dm
Billy’s blue
E Am

Dm
Yeah Billy’s blue
