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