Lay Down Beside Me

Lay Down Beside Me
By Don Williams
 
G          C     D7         G    
I spent my life  lookin' for you
        C             D7      G    
Findin' my way wasn't easy to do 
    D7               C           G      
But I knew there was you all the while
    C                     D7     
And its been worth every  mile
 
   G                  C                    
So Lay Down Beside Me love me and hide me
G                                    D7    
Kiss all the hurtin' of this world a way
    G                     C                       
And hold me so close that I feel your heart beat
    G          D7       G    
And don't ever wander a way
 
G            C         D7           G     
Mornings and evenings  all were the same
             C          D7           G     
There was no music till I heard year name
    D7          C         G      
But I knew when I saw you smile
C                    D7           
Now I can rest for a while 
 
G                  C                    
So Lay Down Beside Me love me and hide me
G                                    D7    
Kiss all the hurtin' of this world a way
    G                     C                       
And hold me so close that I feel your heart beat
    G          D7       G    
And don't ever wander a way
