Am          
Billy’s in the drugstore
Dm
Seven nights a week
E
Fills himself so full of drugs
Am
He can hardly speak

Am

Am
You can be his man

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

Dm
And he’s lyin’ on a slab
E
His funeral arrangements
Am
And we’re feeling sad
