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