Capo on Second fret
D DMaj7 D7
If I had no place to fall
G D
and I needed to
Em G
could I count on you
D
to lay me down?
D DMaj7 D7
I'd never tell you no lies
G D
I don't believe it's wise
Em G
you got pretty eyes
D
won't you spin me 'round
Em A
I ain't much of a lover it's true
Em F#m
I'm here then I'm gone
D E
and I'm forever blue
A
but I'm sure wanting you
Skies full of silver and gold
try to hide the sun
but it can't be done
least not for long
And if we help each other grow
while the light of day
smiles down our way
then we can't go wrong
Time, she's a fast old train
she's here then she's gone
and she won't come again
won't you take my hand
If I had no place to fall
and I needed to
could I count on you
to lay me down?

the D7 there is a one strum hammer on the High E, 7th fret.
Listen to the Live at the Old Quarter version to hear this.
