 Billy was a drover 
                                 D5 
He lived out on the Three Chain Road 
                                C5 
Fell in love with Mary and they married 
                     D5 
She made his shack a home 
   D5 
He drove a mob to Queensland 
       A5                               D5 
And it hurt to have to leave her on her own 
    D5                      A5 
She promised she'd be waiting  
                            D5 
When he brought the cattle home 


           F5             Bb5               C5                F5 
There's a lonesome wind blowin down the Three Chain Road tonight 
     F5             Bb5             C5 
It's sending out a warning as she moans 
F5              Bb5                C5                 D5

In the blindness of his anger  
    A5                                D5 
The fatal shots rang out from Billy's gun 
                            A5
