Oh Billy Brown had lived an ordinary life. 

            G                            C

Two kids, a dog, and then the cautionary wife.

             G                        D7sus 

While it was all going accordingly to plan

           G             D7sus             G     D7sus

Then Billy Brown fell in love with another man. 



           G                         D7sus

He met his lover almost every single day

          G                      C

Making excuses for his dodgy holiday

           G                         D7sus

Unto religion that he said and duly found

            G             D7sus             G      D7sus

They didn’t know that his faith was earthly bound

Brown…Oh Billy Brown.

              Am            D

Don’t let the stars get you down.

              Am            D 

Don’t let the waves let you drown. 

G   G7        C     Cmaj7

Brown…Oh Billy Brown.

                Am                D 

Gonna pick you up like a paper cup.

                Am                     D

Gonna shake the water out of every nook. 

          Cmaj7      D7sus    D7

Oh Billy Brown. 





         G                                  D7sus

Oh Billy Brown needed a place, somewhere to go.

            G                       C

He found an island off the coast of Mexico

            G                      D7sus

Leaving his lover and his family behind. 

         G               D7sus              G      D7sus

Oh Billy Brown needed to find some peace of mind. 



           G                              D7sus

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             D7sus            G     D7sus 

Oh Billy Brown you are a victim of the times. 





G   G7         C     Cmaj7

Brown…Oh Billy Brown.

              Am            D

Don’t let the stars get you down.

Don’t let the waves let you drown.
