G C Bill Horton was a cautious man of the road G D He walked lookin' over his shoulder and remained faithful to its code G C When something caught his eye he'd measure his need G D G And then very carefully he'd proceed C Billy met a yound girl in the early days of May G Bm C It was there in her arms he let his cautiousness slip away G C In their lovers twilight as the evening sky grew dim G D G He'd lay back in her arms and laugh what had happened to him C On his right hand Billy tatooed the word love Bm And on his left hand was the word fear G D And in which hand he held his fate was never clear G C Come Indian summer he took his young lover for his bride G D G And with own hands built a great house down by the riverside

G C Now Billy was an honest man he wanted to do what was right G D He worked hard to fill their lives with happy days and loving nights G C Alone on his knees in the darkness for steadiness he'd pray G D G For he knew in a restless heart the seed of betrayal lay C Bm One night Billy awoke from a terrible dream callin' his wife's name G D She lay breathing beside him in a peaceful sleep a thousand miles away G C He got dressed in the moonlight and down to the highway he strode G D G When he got there he didn't find nothing but road

G C Billy felt a coldness rise up inside him that he couldn't name G Bm C Just as the words tattooed 'cross his knuckles he knew would always remain G At their bedside he brushed the hair from his wife's face C as the moon shone on her skin so white G D G Filling their room with the beauty of God's fallen light G C D Bm Bm7 -3--0--2--2--2-- -0--1--3--3--3-- -0--0--2--4--2-- -0--2--0--4--4-- -2--3-----2--2-- -3--------------
