Tonart: F major
Verse 1
F#
B
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
F#
C#
F#
And then very carefully he'd proceed
Billy met a young girl
B
in the early days of May
F#
It was there in her arms
A#m
F#
B
he let his cautiousness slip away
F#
In their lover's twilight
B
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
A#m
and on his left hand was the word fear
F#
And in which hand he held
C#
his faith was nev er clear
B
he took his young lover for his bride
F#
With his own hands built
F#
B
A#m
B
down by the river side
C#
F#
Now Billy was an honest man
B
He wanted to do what was right
F#
He worked hard to fill their lives
C#
with happy days and loving night
F#
And alone on his knees
B
in the darkness for steadiness he'd pray
F#
For he knew in a restless heart
C#
F#
the seed of betrayal lay
B
One night, Billy woke from
a terrible dream,
A#m
calling his wife's name
F#
She lay breathing beside him
in a peaceful sleep,
C#
a thousand miles away
F#
He got dressed in the moonlight,
B
and down to the highway he strode
F#
And when he got there,
C#
F#
B
A#m
he did n't find nothing but road
F#
But he felt a coldness rise up inside him
F#
Just as the words tattooed
across his knuckles
A#m
B
He knew it would always remain
At their bedside
from his wife's face
B
As the moon shone on her skin so white
C#
F#
in the beauty of God's fallen light
