Lay host and Marie, lay dazed in Loyola, dreaming of tropical sun.
[C]
[D] As lay host lay sleeping, she knelt over him weeping, feeling [C] the weight [G] of his crime.
It [C]
[G] seems he cut a man down in a Tennessee town, he's just licking his wounds for a spell.
But [D] it won't take long for the boys to catch on, and soon he'll be running like an arrow.
[C] Run, [D] run, lay [G] host run,
[C] this ain't no time [G] for that ball and [D] chain.
[C] Run, [D] lay [Em] host run,
[D] climb on that pony [C] and ride like you ain't never done.
[G] [D]

[G]
Well, their love, it was long, it was gentle and strong.
[D] For a while [G] she forgot his [C] sin, [D] then she kissed him for love.
She kissed him for love, [Dm] she kissed him one [C] time [G] for a king.
[C] Well,
[G] [C]
[G] they came in without a warning, in the hours before morning.
They come a-blasting through the windows [C] on the wall, [D] then they smoke it dead clear.
Somebody cried out, he ain't here, killed ourselves a woman, that's all.
[D]
[C] Run, [E] lay [G] host run,
[C] this ain't no time [G] for that ball and [D] chain.
[C] Run, [D] lay [Em] host run,
[D] climb on that pony [C] and ride like you ain't never done.
Ride like
