Standard Tuning

Heard this great song when i was younger and was surprised that there were no tabs for it.

Again - as with all my stuff - it might not be dead-on for the fussy types. For the rest - enjoy !


Intro : D Cascading down to A

A (rings out)

Verse 1

Momma said (G -> A)

      (Bass walks up to ->)  D
"Theres something weird 'bout Billy..."
A                                                 E
"I looked in his room, his bed wasn't slept in at all last night."
     A                                            D
But Papa said "Ah, now Momma dont you go talking silly..."
              G                    D                        A
"He's just a young boy, he's just sowing his wild oats and thats alright."

     A                                             D
But momma said "No, something real strange bout my Billy...."
A                                               E
"Farmer down the road said he lost a few of his sheep last night."
               A                                              D
"I know he's my own flesh and blood but he makes my blood run chilly..."
         G                      D                         A
"Cause I saw him from my window and he was on the hill just screaming at the moonlight!"

Chorus
E
Is it any wonder 
                   A
We hate to see the sun go down?
    E
And is it any wonder 
                   A                           D        A
We hate to see the full moon coming round ?


Verse 2

    A                                                 D
So Papa said "I guess theres only one thing to do 'bout Billy."
A                                                    E
"Hand me down my gun son and bring along that silver dinner bell..."
     A                                       D
But Momma said "Paaa-paaaaaa! I beg you dont kill him!"
         G                     D                      A     
"Cause I just couldn't bear to think about my baby in hell!"

             A                                                 D
but he went down to the blacksmith got him out of bed and said "Get your fire hot!"
    A                                                       E
"Oh! shut up your shutters and close down your doors, we're gonna need all the heat you got!"
         A                                         D
"Cause I want you to melt my silver bell down to a single shot...."
         G               D                             A
"I got a job to do and I got to get it done before the sun comes up."


Chorus (Short - the timing is a little different than the other choruses)

   E
So is it any wonder 
                                A             D
That we hate to see the sun go down?

D Cascading (same as intro) down to A

A                   (*)     (Bass walks up to ->) D
Then we heard a shot.. and I said "Papa got him..."
A                                                   E
Then we heard a scream.. and Momma smiled and said "Betcha Billy got him..."
            A                                              D
But when I lifted up my eyes there was Papa in the doorway staring at the floor 
       G                        D            A   
And my big brother Billy never did come home no more 

Chorus
E
So Is it any wonder 
                   A
We hate to see the sun go down?
E
And is it any wonder 
                   A                           D        A
We hate to see the full moon coming round ?
