Lay Me Down

Lời & hợp âm

[Intro 1]
[C][Dm][C][Dm]

[Verse 1]
Well [Am]this is how it starts
Two [Dm]lovers in the dark
On the [E]run, from the one
That they called Sheriff Spark
Six [Am]guns by their side
And [Dm]bullets 'round their waist
Two [E]shots to the sky
Signal sound for the chase
The [Am]safe was nearly empty
and [Dm]they were nearly free
But were [E]seen by the good eye
of the mean Billy Green
And he [Am]screamed at the top of his [Dm]lungs
They're on the run
It's the [E]two outsiders
Grab your horses and your guns
[C]

[Chorus 1]
I said I wish that we could [Dm]stay here
But I fear our time has [C]come
We could ride out in the [Dm]darkness
Chasing the rising [C]sun
We gotta pack our bags this [Dm]in stant
We're heading south-bound to the next [C]town
And if we all arrive there so [Dm]safely
Baby you can lay me [C]down[Dm]
Lay me [C]down[Dm]
Lay me [C]down[Dm]
Lay me [C]down[Dm]

[Verse 2]
Well it's the [Am]story of the two
[Dm]Always on the move
They got [E]nothing left to lose
'Cept their guns and their wounds
[Am]Now they're crossing borders
Sheriffs [Dm]posse on their tail
They'd [E]rather die together
Than be stuck up in a cell
They [Am]drank up all the whiskey
And they [Dm]partied every night
Like [E]it could be the last
The bounty said shoot on sight
So they [Am]chased the endless summer
Though it [Dm]came with the pride
They [E]wouldn't stop running
'Til they found a paradise
But the [Am]sheriff finally found them
with his [Dm]eyes seeing red
So the [E]lovers had to shoot him down
and fill him full of lead
[Am]They were finally free
To find a [Dm]place to lay their head
And [E]when they finally did
he looked at her and then he said
[C]

[Chorus 2]
I said I wish that we could [Dm]stay here
'Cause I feel our time has [C]come
And we can walk down to the [Dm]o cean
And sit with the rising [C]sun
So unpack your bags this [Dm]in stant
No more running from town to [C]town
And now that we've arrived so [Dm]safely
Baby you can lay me [C]down[Dm]
Lay me [C]down[Dm]
Lay me [C]down[Dm]
Lay me [C]down[Dm]

[Bridge 1]
Well you're my [C]green-eyed girl
And I've been running around with you
It's the afternoon
and we got nothing left to do
So wipe the [C]dirt off,
or take your shirt off
And we should go hit the cantina
We got work off
I said it's [C]hot outside
Let me go swimming in your eyes
We've been running for a while
Why don't you lay down, make me smile
[C]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
[C]

[Chorus 3]
I said I wish that we could [Dm]stay here
'Cause I feel our time has [C]come
And we can walk down to the [Dm]o cean
And sit with the rising [C]sun
So unpack your bags this [Dm]in stant
No more running from town to [C]town
And now that we've arrived so [Dm]safely
Baby you can lay me [C]down[Dm]
Lay me [C]down[Dm]
Lay me [C]down[Dm]
Lay me [C]down[Dm]

[Outro 1]
