lay low Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]It’[D]s a[C] go[G]od
three
hours to Aberdeen,
and I’ve read all the magazines
[D]And[C] the jokes are all played out[Am]

[Verse 2]
or wearin’ thin
[G]So I lie back and I close my eyes and
[D]I let [G]that old [D]sadness rise
And I [C]listen to Hello In There [G]again
And [C]riding shotgun [D]all the time, that
[G]melan[D]choly [Em]ghost of mine
[Am]Plays Jesus to my lonely Joan [C]of Arc
To[Am]gether we go ridin’ through [D]the dark

[Verse 3]
[G]I think I[D] need to lay l[C]ow for a[G]while
[C]Stare at [G]the Gulf of Mex
[Am]ico for [D]awhile[Em]
Take it easy take it [C]slow for awhile
I [Am]think I need [D]to lay [G]low
[D][C]

[Verse 4]
[G]
Tonight I’ll call to say hello,
but [D]your phone’s just
[G]gonna ring I know
I guess [C]some things just
cannot be un[G]done
So I clutch this guitar to my chest an[D]d
wonder just what I’ll have left
When [C]all of this [Am]hard
[C]traveling’s fi[G]nally done
You [C]say I’m not who I used [D]to be,
that [G]ain’t ex[D]actly [Em]news to me
[Am]That girl has long since [C]cut and run
[Am]But baby I am not the only o[D]ne

[Verse 5]
[G]I think I n[D]eed to lay low[C] for awh[G]ile
[C]Stare at [G]the Gulf of Mex
[Am]ico for [D]awhile[Em]
Tell ’em all where they can [C]go for awhile
I [G]think [Am]I need [D]to lay [G]low

[Interlude 1]
[D][C][G]
[D][C][G]

[Verse 6]
She [G]travels fast who goes alone,
[D]this wind’ll cut you to the bone
These [C]truckers sure are flyin
here [G]tonight

[Verse 7]
[G]And as for me I’m gettin by,
I still laugh but I can[D]’t cry
That [C]door is shut and locked [G]up tight
[C]The days go by like [D]hazy dreams,
the [G]nights [D]at least I [Em]get to sing
[Am]And suddenly it’s three
[C]AM again
And this sad[Am]ness like
[D]a tide that’s rollin’ in

[Verse 8]
[G]I think I[D] need to lay l[C]ow for a[G]while
[C]Stare at [G]the Gulf of Mex
[Am]ico for [D]awhile[Em]
Think I need to let it [C]go for awhile
I think [Am]I need [D]to lay [G]low[C]
I [G]think I [Am]need [D]to lay [G]low
[D][C]
