Cautious Man - Bruce Springsteen

G (320003@1)                        CBill (x32010@1)Horton was a cautious man of the road
          G (320003@1)                                                        DHe (xx0232@1)walked lookin' over his shoulder and remained faithful to its code
G (320003@1)                           CWhen (x32010@1)something caught his eye he'd measure his need
G (320003@1)                 D (xx0232@1)          GAnd (320003@1)then very carefully he'd proceed

                              CBilly (x32010@1)met a yound girl in the early days of May
        G (320003@1)                           Bm (x24432@1)             CIt (x32010@1)was there in her arms he let his cautiousness slip away
G (320003@1)                             CIn (x32010@1)their lovers twilight as the evening sky grew dim
      G (320003@1)                   D (xx0232@1)                          GHe'd (320003@1)lay back in her arms and laugh what had happened to him

       C (x32010@1)                             
On his right hand Billy tatooed the word love 
           BmAnd (x24432@1)on his left hand was the word fear
    G (320003@1)                                          DAnd (xx0232@1)in which hand he held his fate was never clear
 G (320003@1)                                 CCome (x32010@1)Indian summer he took his young lover for his bride
         G (320003@1)                           D (xx0232@1)                 GAnd (320003@1)with own hands built a great house down by the riverside

    G (320003@1)                     CNow (x32010@1)Billy was an honest man he wanted to do what was right
    G (320003@1)                                                          DHe (xx0232@1)worked hard to fill their lives with happy days and loving nights
 G (320003@1)                                    CAlone (x32010@1)on his knees in the darkness for steadiness he'd pray
 G (320003@1)                         D (xx0232@1)                      GFor (320003@1)he knew in a restless heart the seed of betrayal lay

          C (x32010@1)                               BmOne (x24432@1)night Billy awoke from a terrible dream callin' his wife's name
          G (320003@1)                                                      DShe (xx0232@1)lay breathing beside him in a peaceful sleep a thousand miles away
G (320003@1)                                  CHe (x32010@1)got dressed in the moonlight and down to the highway he strode
         G (320003@1)             D (xx0232@1)                    GWhen (320003@1)he got there he didn't find nothing but road

              G (320003@1)                        CBilly (x32010@1)felt a coldness rise up inside him that he couldn't name
             G (320003@1)                                   Bm (x24432@1)              CJust (x32010@1)as the words tattooed 'cross his knuckles he knew would always remain
          GAt (320003@1)their bedside he brushed the hair from his wife's face 
        C (x32010@1)as the moon shone on her skin so white
               G (320003@1)                  D (xx0232@1)              GFilling (320003@1)their room with the beauty of God's fallen light
