Billy ran around with the rare old crew
       F        C           F
And he knew an Arsenal from Tottenham blue
          F          Bb         F     C
We'd be a darn sight better off if we knew
F                       Bb
Where Billy's bones are resting now

F                             Bb
Billy saw a copper and he hit him in the knee
       F        C           F
And he took him down from six foot to five foot three
          F          Bb         F     C
Then he hit him fair and square in the do-re-mi
F                       Bb
That copper won't be having any family

Bb                               F                      C
Hey Billy son where are you now, don't you know that we need you now
      F   Bb         F       C   F                       Bb
With aratata and the old kow-tow where are Billy's bones resting now

F                         Bb
Billy went away with the peace-keeping force
       F        C           F
'Cause he liked a bloody good fight of course
F          Bb           F     C
Went away in an old khaki van
F                       Bb
to the banks of the river Jordan

F                         Bb
Billy saw the Arabs and he had 'em on the run
       F        C           F
When he got 'em in the range of his sub-machine gun
          F          Bb         F     C
Then he had the Israelis in his sights,
F                       Bb
went a ra-ta-ta And they ran like Shiites

Bb                               F                      C
Hey Billy son where are you now, don't you know that we need you now
      F   Bb         F       C   F                       Bb
With aratata and the old kow-tow where are Billy's bones resting now

Hey Billy son where are you now, don't you know that we need you now
      F   Bb         F       C   F                       Bb

One night Billy had a rare old time,
       F        C           F
Laughing and singing on the Lebanon line
          F          Bb         F     C
Came back to camp not looking too pretty
F                       Bb
Never even got to see the Holy City

    F                        Bb
Now Billy's out there in the desert sun
        F                     C
And his mother cries when the morning comes
            F       Bb         F         C
And there's mothers crying all over this world
F                       Bb
For their poor dead darling boys and girls

Bb                               F                      C
Hey Billy son where are you now, don't you know that we need you now
      F   Bb         F       C   F                       Bb
With aratata and the old kow-tow where are Billy's bones resting now
