Lay Me Down - Dirty Heads | Guitar Chords | VChords

[Intro]
---------------------
G        Am      G
 Ooh, no,  no, uh
        Am
Ooh, no,  no

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

[Pre-Chorus (1)]
---------------------
I said I wish that
             Am
We could stay  here,
                            G
But I fear our time has come
                                 Am
And we could 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 all arrive there so safely,
Baby you can
       G   Am
Lay me down

[Chorus (1)]
---------------------
       G   Am
Lay me down
       G   Am
Lay me down
       G   Am
Lay me down

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

[Pre-Chorus (2)]
---------------------
                               Am
I said I think that we can stay  here,
                               G
'Cause I feel our time has come
                             Am
And we can walk down to the ocean,
                        G
And sit with the rising sun
                           Am
So unpack your bags this instant,
                                 G
No more running from town to town
                                  Am
And now that we've arrived so safely,
Baby you can
       G   Am
Lay me down

[Chorus (2)]
---------------------
       G   Am
Lay me down
       G   Am
Lay me down
       G   Am
Lay me down
               G
Well you're my greeneyed girl

[Bridge]
---------------------
                 Am
And I've been running around with you
         G                        Am
It's the afternoon and we got nothing left to do
            G                           Am
So wipe the dirt off, or Take your shirt
off,
              G                              Am
And we should go hit the cantina, We got work
off
            G
I said it's hot outside
              Am
Let me go swimming in your eyes
           G
We've been running for a while
                  Am
Why don't you lay down and make smile
G                                Am
I could never ask for nothing better than this
            G                                      Am
It's just tequila and the beach, that's why its salty when we kiss



[Chorus (3)]
---------------------
       G   Am
Lay me down
       G       Am
Lay me down, no
       G   Am
Lay me down
       G
Lay me down
