[F] Billy Gray [Bb] rode in the gantry [C] back in 83.
[Bb] There he [F] did meet young [C] Sarah McGray. _
_ [Bb] That wild rose of morning, [F] that pale [C] flower of [Bb] dawning,
had rolled of [C] springtime in his [F] young wife that day.
_ Now [Bb] Sarah, she could not see the [C] daylight of reality,
[Dm] and her young eyes, [F] Billy, bore not a [C] flaw.
_ _ Knowing [Bb] not her chosen [F] one was a [C] hired gun,
[Bb]
wanted in [C] Kansas City [F] by the law.

_ Now then, one [Bb] day a tall man came riding [C] across the Badlands,
flying [F] to the north of New [C] Mexico. _
_ He was [Bb] overheard to say [F] he was looking [C] for Bill Gray,
[Dm] a ruthless man [C] and a [F] dangerous outlaw.
_ Well, the deadly [Bb] news came creeping to [C] Billy Gray fast sleeping
[Bb] there in the [F] clerics' [C] unbonding hotel.
_ He fled [Bb] toward the old church [C] there on the outskirts.
Thinking he'd climb through that old [F] stable bell.
Oh, but a rifle [Bb] ball came flying [F] face down.
[C] He lay dying
[Bb] there in the [F] dust of the road [C] where he fell.
_ And Sarah, [Bb] she ran to him just [C] cursing the law man,
[Bb] accepting no [F] reasons, knowing he was killed.

Now Sarah [Bb] lives in that same old white [C] frame house
[Bb] where she first met [F] Billy some forty [C] years ago.
And that wild [Bb] rose of [F] morning, she's faded [C] with the dawning
of each day of sorrow, the long years have [F]
sung.
There's sand written [Bb] on a [F] stone where the dusty [C] winds have long [Bb] blown. _
[F] Eighteen words to a [C] passing world say.
True [Bb] love knows no season, no [C] rhyme, no reason.
[Bb] Just as [F] cold as the Granger County glade.
Yes, true [Bb] love knows no season, no [C] rhyme, no reason.
[Bb] Just as [F] cold as the Granger County glade.
Here's a little tune I wrote.
