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