Intro: [E] [D] [A] - [E] [D] [A]
Bi[E]lly got out of pr[D]ison, but [A]he wasn't right
So[E]me like to dr[D]ink or gamble, Billy [A]liked to fight.
H[E]e tracked back to his h[D]ome state of M[A]ary-land.
W[E]ent to his mom's mo[D]bile home where she [A]took him in, al[E]right.[D] [A]
[CHORUS]
Ro[E]ckaway the d[D]ays, rockaway t[A]he night.
Gi[E]mme something to l[D]ast me, baby, 'til t[A]he morning light.
I[E] ain't looking for tr[D]ouble, I ain't lo[A]oking for a fight.
H[E]oney, rockaway these d[D]ays rockaway th[A]ese nights.
(The same chords through the whole song. It's simple: E - D - A again and again)
Well at a picnic one Sunday Billy met Mary Dove
May looked at Billy, Billy fell in love
Billy swore to Mari he'd always love her so
They were married in the valley where the river flows, alright
[CHORUS]
At a roadside bar Billy argued with a young man
And he settled that argument with a razor in his hand
With blood on his shirt back to Mary he did run
She sighed "Billy, oh Billy what have you done?"
He ran to his ma's trailer but the lights were dim
He punded on the, she wouldn't let him in
Up the road to a neighbour's house he drew near
They said "Billy go away, we don't want no trouble 'round here"
Billy stole a car and headed out on the road
Pocketful of pills and his brain on overload
Seen some lights in his rearview mirror, panicked and gave her the gun.
Wrapped himself 'round a telephone pole way out on 101
Well Billy got cut out on by a highway patrol
Just lay there with the cars passing on so slow
Sherrif told BIlly's ma that Billy died
She buried his body by the riverside, alright
[CHORUS]
Ro[E]ckaway the d[D]ays, rockaway t[A]he night.
Gi[E]mme something to l[D]ast me, baby, 'til t[A]he morning light.
I[E] ain't looking for tr[D]ouble, I ain't lo[A]oking for a fight.
H[E]oney, rockaway these d[D]ays rockaway th[A]ese nights.
Well the rich man want the power and the seat of the top
Poor man want the money that the rich man got
Honey tonight I'm feeling so tired and unsure
Come on in Mary, shut the light, close the door
[CHORUS]
And 'ere you go! Enjoy!
