[Intro   ]Dm 
 
Dm                   C 
 Billy was a drover 
                                 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 
When he brought the cattle home

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

Dm                     C 
Billy came home early 
                         Dm 
He wasen'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 
                            A 
In that smokey silence he knew 
                             Dm 
And he wept for what he'd done
