Cm; Billy's got a gun, he's on the run A# F Confusion in his mind, the blind leads the blind Cm F D#/C Yeah, Billy's got a gun, he's gonna shoot ya down A# F Cm He's got evil in his eyes, got a reason to despise There's danger in the air Chorus: G# Cm Can you feel it in the air? (There's danger in the air) F/C D#/C Danger (such a strange emotion) G# Can you feel it in the air? A# Oh yeah Oh, he was locked inside a room without a door His innocence he suffered for, in a world of black and white They were wrong and he was right Just looking for a clue, it's a nightmare come true He's going underground to track that danger down Oh, Billy, and why you got that gun? Chorus Dm Never give him an even break A# Gettin' caught is the chance you take G/B It could be your last mistake G (You could be so helpless) Dm As a bird with a broken wing A# Like a sheep in a lion's den G/B Gonna fall but you won't know when G It's gonna get you You hear footsteps in the night, see shadows on the wall And the ghostly sound of silence, as the mist begins to fall Then a scream rang out like thunder but the lightning was too late As the rain came down on the crimson ground was the hand of fate And a crowd of people gathered around but Billy couldn't wait Chorus (Aah, you better run) Never give him an even break (Better run) Getting caught is the chance you take (You better run) It could be your last mistake (Yeah, Billy's got a gun) As a bird with a broken wing (Oh, Billy) As a sheep in the lions den (Oh, Billy) Going to fall but you won't know when (Yeah, the heat is on, he's going to get you) Bang, bang You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA# C Cm Dm F G G# B Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
