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