Oh Billy Brown had lived an ordinary life. 
            G                            C
Two kids, a dog, and then the cautionary wife.
             G                        D7sus4 
While it was all going accordingly to plan
           G             D7sus4             G     D7sus4
Then Billy Brown fell in love with another man. 

           G                         D7sus4
He met his lover almost every single day
          G                      C
Making excuses for his dodgy holiday
           G                         D7sus4
Unto religion that he said and duly found
            G             D7sus4             G      D7sus4
They didn’t know that his faith was earthly bound

Brown…Oh Billy Brown.
              Am            D
Don’t let the stars get you down.

Don’t let the waves let you drown.

Brown…Oh Billy Brown.
                Am                D 
Gonna pick you up like a paper cup.
                Am                     D
Gonna shake the water out of every nook.

Oh Billy Brown. 


         G                                  D7sus4
Oh Billy Brown needed a place, somewhere to go.
            G                       C
He found an island off the coast of Mexico
            G                      D7sus4
Leaving his lover and his family behind. 
         G               D7sus4              G      D7sus4
Oh Billy Brown needed to find some peace of mind. 

           G                              D7sus4
And on his journey and his travels on the way,
            G                           C 
He met a girlie who was brave enough to say,
               G                                C 
When they made love he shared the burden of his mind.
          G             D7sus4            G     D7sus4 
Oh Billy Brown you are a victim of the times.
