LAY ME DOWN - Dirty Head Ft. Rome
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
G
Ho-woah-oo-oh-ho-ho-oo-woah- no
Am
Hoo-oo-woo-oo-oo
G
Ho-oh-oo-woah-oh-oh-oo-woah-no- oo
Am B
Hoo-woo-
Em Am
Well this is how it starts two lovers in the dark
B
On the run from the one that they call Sheriff Sparks
Em Am
Six guns by the side and bullets �round their waist
B
Two shots to the sky signal sound for the chase
Em Am
The safe was nearly empty and they were nearly free
B
But was seen by the wood eye of the mean Billy Greene
Em Am
And he screamed at the top of his lungs �they�re on the run!
B
It�s the two outsiders grab yer holsters and yer guns!�
G Am
I said I wish that we could stay here
G
But I fear our time has come
Am
Oh we can ride out in the darkness
G
Chasing the rising sun
Am
We gotta pack our bags this instant
G
We�re heading southbound to the next town
Am
And if we arrive there so safely
B G G G Am
Baby you can lay me down
G G G Am
Lay me down
G G G Am
Lay me down
G G G Am
Lay me down
Em Am
Well it�s the story of the two always on the move
B
They got nothing left to lose �cept their guns and they wounds
Em Am
Now they�re crossing borders sheriff�s posse on their tail
B
They rather die together than be stuck up in a cell
Em Am
They drank up all the whiskey and they partied every night
B
Like it could be the last the bounty said to shoot on sight
Em Am
So they chased the endless summer though it came with a price
B
They wouldn�t stop running �til they found a paradise
Em Am
But the Sheriff finally found �em with his eyes seeing red
B
So the lovers had to shoot him down and fill him full of lead
Em Am
They were finally free to find a place to lay their head
B
And when they finally did he looked at her and then he said:
G Am
I said I wish that we could stay here
G
But I fear our time has come
Am
Oh we can walk down to the ocean
G
Chasing the rising sun
Am
We gotta pack our bags this instant
G
No more running from town to town
Am
And if we arrive there so safely
B G G G Am
Baby you can lay me down
G G G Am
Lay me down
G G G Am
Lay me down
G G G Am
Lay me down
G G G Am
Well you�re my green eyed girl and I�ve been running round with you
G G G Am
It�s the afternoon and we got nothing left to do
G G G Am
So wipe the dirt off or take yer shirt off
G G G Am
And we should go hit the cantina we got work off
G G G Am
I said it�s hot outside let me go swimming in your eyes
G G G Am
We�ve been running for a while why�oncha lay down make me smile
G G G Am
I could never ask for nothing better than this
G
It�s just tequila and the beach that�s why it�s salty when we kiss
G Am
I said I wish that we could stay here
G
But I feel our time has come
Am
Oh we can walk down to the ocean
G
Chasing the rising sun
Am
We gotta pack our bags this instant
G
No more running from town to town
Am
And if we arrive there so safely
B G G G Am
Baby you can lay me down
G G G Am
Lay me down
G G G Am
Lay me down
G G G Am
Lay me down
G
Lay me down
