C                       Am             C
This is the story about Billy and Sue, they were
                   Am
as in love as were any two.
        C            G                 F
And yet Billy had to die..and when you hear the
       G                              C   Am
reason why, you'll hang your head and cry.

#2.
C                     Am                      C
Billy and Sue met the first day of school and ever
                   Am
since lived by the Golden Rule.
        C               G                F
Because they'll do unto others, what you wouldn't
             G                       C    Am
want done to you..you'd have to be a fool.

#3.
     C                   Am
This mutual agreement of love and trust, they would
C                  Am
travel the road to marriage or bust.
         C                       G
And when Billy was old enough to take a wife, he was
F                           G                      C   Am
old enough to fight for his country and its way of life.

BRIDGE:
Bm                 Gbm        A
Sues' letters came every day..strengthened his cause,
     Em                     F
they showed him the way, to fight for his country and
    C              G                       Am   Bm
the girl he loved..that's a soldier's only pay.

    D                   Bm                    D
But then Billy heard no more from Sue, he was worried
          Bm
sick, but what could he do?
    D                            A
The bullets were screaming as he hugged the ground,
         G     A               D     Bm
and back home..Sue was runnin' round.

#5.
D                 Bm                        D
Billy was gettin' less and less strong, his hope, his fate,
    Bm
was almost gone.
    D                     A                      G
And then like a miracle a letter appeared..Billy tore the
                   A          D    Bm
letter open and he read, Dear John.
  D                               Bm               D
A look came over Billy that would scare a ghost..a familiar
                      Bm
look seen on soldiers coast to coast.
    D                       A                       G
And even though the air was filled with lead, Billy jumped
    A             D    Bm
up..they shot him dead.

OUTRO:
D                     Bm                       D
Billy was buried in a far away grave, it read, for his country,
    Bm
his life he gave.
         D           A                       G
But that epitaph was only in part..he didn't die from a bullet,
       A                   D     Bm
but he died, from a broken heart.
