        G                             Cadd9
Oh Billy Brown had lived an ordinary life. 
             G                     C
Two kids, a dog, and a cautionary wife.
             G                     C 
While it was all going according to plan
             G             D                G
Then Billy Brown fell in love with another man. 


             G                       Cadd9
He met his lover almost every single day
          G                            C
Making excuses through his (dodly) holiday
           G                          C
(Unto religion that he said and duty found
              G        D                   G 
They didn’t know that his faith was (earthlic) bound) 



Chorus:

  G               C
Brown… Oh Billy Brown.
               Am            Bm7
Don’t let the stars get you down.
               Am            Bm7
Don’t let the waves let you drown. 
  G              C
Brown… Oh Billy Brown.
               Am              Bm7
Gonna pick you up like a paper cup.
                Am                 Bm7
Gonna shake the water out of every nook. 
           C           D
Oh Billy Brown. 
      

 
Verse:

           G                                Cadd9
Oh Billy Brown needed a place, somewhere to go.
              G                          C 
He found an island off the coast of Mexico
             G                       C 
Leaving his lover and his family behind. 
            G              D                  G
Oh Billy Brown needed to find some peace of mind. 


             G                            Cadd9
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              D              G 
Oh Billy Brown you are a victim of the times. 



Chorus:
