Billy was a drover
 C                             Dm
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
       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

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

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
C                    Dm
He Knew what must be done

Somewhere in the darkness a shot rang out
                 Dm
