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