Billy was a drover
 C                            | Dm       |  
He lived out on the Three Chain Road

Fell in love with Mary and they married
                  |  Dm          |
She made his shack a home
   Dm                        |
He drove a mob to Queensland
       Am                            |  Dm       |
And it hurt to have to leave her on her own
    Dm                        | A    
She promised she'd be waiting 
                          |Dm        Dm  
When he brought the cattle home

It's sending out a warning as she moans

Dm                   | 
Billy came home early
C                    | Dm       | 
He wasn't due for many days
                                |  C
He walked into the cabin found his Mary
                     |  Dm          |
In a strangers arms she lay
   Dm                        |
In the blindness of his anger 
    Am                             |  Dm       |
The fatal shots rang out from Billy's gun
    Dm                   | A    
In that smokey silence he  knew
                          |Dm       Dm  Dm |Dm   Dm
And he wept for what he'd done

Dm                     | 
Billy walked out slowly

He Knew what must be done
