TRUE LOVE KNOWS NO SEASON NORMAN BLAKE ( AS PERFORMED BY CHRISTY MOORE ) D G D A Billy Gray rode into Gantry, way back in '83 G D Em7 A There he first met with young Sara McRae D G D A The wild rose of morning, the pale flower of dawning G D AA7 D Heralded the springtime in Billy's life that day Sara she could not see the daylight of reality In her young eyes Billy bore not a flaw Knowing not her chosen one, he was a hired gun Wanted in Kansas City by the law Then one day a tall man came riding from the badlands That lay to the north of New Mexico He was overheard to say he was looking for Billy Gray A wanted man and a dangerous outlaw The news it came creeping to Billy, lay sleeping There in the Clarendon bar and hotel He ran to the old church that lies on the outskirts Thinking he'd climb to the old steeple bell But a rifle ball came flying, face down he lay dying There in the dust of the road where he lay Sara ran to him, she was cursing the lawman Poor girl knew no reason, except that he'd been slain Sara still lives in that old white frame-house Where she first me Billy, some forty years ago But the wild rose of morning has faded with the dawning Of each day of sorrow, the long years have grown And written on a stone where the dusty winds have long blown Eighteen words to a passing world say 'True love knows no season, no rhyme nor no reason Justice is cold as the Granger County clay' ***************************************************************************************** The above is solely MY INTERPRETATION of this great song, in a format aimed at learning guitarists.
