Lay me down easy

Lay me down hard

Light my cigarette and make my bed

Somewhere beneath the stars
verse 1
C F
I was born a blue child
G C
Of the wild western sky
F
But I left my prairie home
G C
Found a boxcar for to ride
F
Now I'm way down in Okema
G C
Earning blisters on my feet
F
With my guitar and my buck knife
G C
Thumbing down Woody Guthrie Street
C F
Lay me down easy
G C
Lay me down hard
F
Light my cigarette and make my bed
G C
Somewhere beneath the stars
F
Don't look for me in glory
G C
Don't look for me below
F
'Cause I'll be riding on that freight
G C
Where the souls of ramblers go
Instrumental
C- F- G- C
verse 2
C F
And there's a sadness that follows
G C
Most everywhere I roam
F
You can see it on my smile
G C
You can smell it on my clothes
F
Sometimes all that running
G C
It never lasts too long
F
So keep me good and loaded
G C
And I'll keep singing songs
C F
Lay me down easy
G C
Lay me down hard
F
Light my cigarette and make my bed
G C
Somewhere beneath the stars

C F
If I don't leave here tomorrow
G C
I believe I'll blow out my brains

But either way there'll be sorrow
G C
And you won't be seeing me again

Lay me down easy
G C
Lay me down hard
F
Light my cigarette and make my bed

Somewhere beneath the stars
