F
And then very carefully he'd proceed
Billy met a young girl
Bb
in the early days of May

It was there in her arms
Am
F
Bb
he let his cautiousness slip away
F
In their lover's twilight
Bb
as the evening sky grew dim
F
He laid back in her arms
C

and laughed at what had happened to him
Bb
On his right hand
Billy tattooed the word love

F
And in which hand he held
C
his faith was never clear
F
Come Indian summer
Bb
he took his young lover for his bride

With his own hands built
C
her a great house

down by the river side

Now Billy was an honest man
Bb
He wanted to do what was right

One night, Billy woke from
a terrible dream,

calling his wife's name

a thousand miles away

He got dressed in the moonlight,

And when he got there,
C
F
Bb
Am
he didn't find nothing but road
F
But he felt a coldness rise up inside him

That he couldn't name
F
Just as the words tattooed
across his knuckles
Am
Bb
He knew it would always remain
At their bedside
F
he brushed the hair
from his wife's face
Bb
As the moon shone on her skin so white
F
Filling their room
C
F
in the beauty of God's fallen light
