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