Dm |
Billy was a drover
| |
He lived out on the Three Chain Road
| C
Fell in love with Mary and they married
| Dm |
She made his shack a home
Dm |
He drove a mob to Queensland
| |
And it hurt to have to leave her on her own
|
She promised she'd be waiting
|Dm Dm
When he brought the cattle home
Chorus:
| | | |
There's a lonesome wind blowin down the Three Chain Road tonight
| | | | |
It's sending out a warning as she moans
| | | | |
Billy don't go riding down the Three Chain Road tonight
| | | |
The wind is crying Billy please don't go
| |
Dm |
Billy came home early
| |
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
| |
The fatal shots rang out from Billy's gun
|
In that smokey silence he knew
|Dm Dm Dm |Dm Dm
And he wept for what he'd done
Chorus:
| | | | |
There's a lonesome wind blowin down the Three Chain Road tonight
| | | |
It's sending out a warning as she moans
| | | | |
Billy don't go riding down the Three Chain Road tonight
| | | |
The wind is crying Billy please don't go

Verse 3
Dm |
Billy walked out slowly
| |
He Knew what must be done
| C
Somewhere in the darkness a shot rang out
| Dm |
Billy's time had come
They say his spirits out there
| | |
You can feel it every time the cold wind blows
| A
It's warning all the strangers
| |Dm
who come by the Three Chain Road
Chorus

There's a lonesome wind blowin down the Three Chain Road tonight
