The Breakmen – That's where I lay down
Tabbed By Stephen Turner, July 2013.
G
Spring rain left when I first met you
D Em
With your long eyelashes and your blush of youth
Em
You tell the truth and you do your best
G C
But you can't see the things that you never have discovered yet
C G
Oh it's like that when you're lovin and young
D Em
From the back the mind to the tip of the tongue
Em
The kiss on your lips, your fingertips
G C
And I'd make the same choice if I had to do it once again
D G
That's where I lay down
C
That's where I'm gonna lay my head
C G
When there is no bed in any town
D Em
And the summer's turned the grass to brown
D G
That's where I lay down
G
So I worked the line, I made our life
D Em
And a good time woman became my wife
Em
Good as an oak through the joy and the mess
G C
But you never know you're leavin til you're lookin back at what you've left
C G
Standin in the doorway open wide
D Em
In front of the pack you left inside
Em
Spring into summer, summer to fall
G C
It's your sun-kissed body and honey I can't take it all
D G
That's where I lay down
C
That's where I'm gonna lay my head
C G
When there is no bed in any town
D Em
And the summer's turned the grass to brown
D G
That's where I lay down
G
I don't know if love comes and goes
D Em
Or if it's rocksteady and it's me who roams
Em
I'm coming and a going, I'm passin through
G C
And I'm countin the miles until I'm headin back to you
C G
Oh livin the life I guess I wanted to
D Em
With my pack on my back and my dusty shoes
Em
With your love in my pocket, I'm keepin it safe
G C
And I'm carryin it home to you darling now and I can't wait
D G
That's where I lay down
C
That's where I'm gonna lay my head
C G
When there is no bed in any town
D Em
And the summer's turned the grass to brown
D G
That's where I lay down
