Lay me Down

[Intro]

G | | | \  Am

Ho-woah-oo-oh-ho-woah,yea-woah- no-oh-oh/ooh-woo-oo-oo

Em                              Am

B

Well this is how it starts two lovers in the dark

On the run from the one that they call Sheriff Sparks

Six guns by the side and bullets ‘round their waist

Two shots to the sky signal sound for the chase

The safe was nearly empty and they were nearly free

But was seen by the wood eye of the mean Billy Greene

And he screamed at the top of his lungs “they’re on the run!

It’s the two outsiders grab yur holsters and yur guns!”

|Chorus|

G                           Am

G

I said I wish that wе could stay here

But I fear our timе has come

Oh we can ride out in the darkness

Chasing the rising sun

We gotta pack our bags this instant

We’re heading southbound to the next town

And if we arrive there so safely

(G G G    Am)

Baby you can lay me down

Lay me down

Lay me down

Lay me down

|Verse|

Well it’s the story of the two always on the move

They got nothing left to lose ‘cept their guns and they wounds

Now they’re crossing borders sheriff’s posse on their tail

They rather die together than be stuck up in a cell

They drank up all the whiskey and they partied every night

Like it could be the last the bounty said to shoot on sight

So they chased the endless summer though it came with a price

They wouldn’t stop running ‘til they found a paradise

But the Sheriff finally found ‘em with his eyes seeing red

So the lovers had to shoot him down and fill him full of lead

They were finally free to find a place to lay their head

And when they finally did he looked at her and then he said:

|Chorus|

I said I wish that we could stay here

But I fear our time has come

Oh we can ride out in the darkness

Chasing the rising sun

We gotta pack our bags this instant

We’re heading southbound to the next town

And if we arrive there so safely

(G G G    Am)

Baby you can lay me down

Lay me down

Lay me down

Lay me down

|Verse|

Well you’re my green eyed girl and I’ve been running round with you

It’s the afternoon and we got nothing left to do

So wipe the dirt off or take yer shirt off

And we should go hit the cantina we got work off

I said it’s hot outside let me go swimming in your eyes

We’ve been running for a while why’oncha lay down make me smile

I could never ask for nothing better than this

It’s just tequila and the beach that’s why it’s salty when we kiss

|Chorus|

I said I wish that we could stay here

But I fear our time has come

Oh we can ride out in the darkness

Chasing the rising sun

We gotta pack our bags this instant

We’re heading southbound to the next town

And if we arrive there so safely

(G G G    Am)

Baby you can lay me down

Lay me down

Lay me down

Lay me down
