Tonart: F major
Verse 1
F
Bb
Billy Horton was a cautious man of the road
F
He walked looking over his shoulder
C
Remained faithful to its code
F
When something caught his eye
Bb
He'd measure his need
F
C
F
And then very carefully he'd proceed
Billy met a young girl
Bb
in the early days of May
F
It was there in her arms
Am
F
Bb
he let his cautiousness slip away
F
In their lover's twilight
Bb
as the evening sky grew dim
F
He laid back in her arms
C
F
and laughed at what had happened to him
Billy tattooed the word love
Am
and on his left hand was the word fear
F
And in which hand he held
C
his faith was never clear
Bb
he took his young lover for his bride
F
With his own hands built
F
Bb
Am
Bb
down by the river side
C
F
Now Billy was an honest man
Bb
He wanted to do what was right
F
He worked hard to fill their lives
C
with happy days and loving night
Bb
in the darkness for steadiness he'd pray
F
For he knew in a restless heart
C
F
the seed of betrayal lay
Bb
One night, Billy woke from
a terrible dream,
Am
calling his wife's name
F
She lay breathing beside him
in a peaceful sleep,
F
He got dressed in the moonlight,
Bb
and down to the highway he strode
C
F
Bb
Am
he didn't find nothing but road
F
But he felt a coldness rise up inside him
Bb
That he couldn't name
F
Just as the words tattooed
across his knuckles
Am
Bb
He knew it would always remain
At their bedside
from his wife's face
Bb
As the moon shone on her skin so white
C
F
in the beauty of God's fallen light
