[C] Lay me [F] down easy, [G] lay me down [C] hard [Em] Light my [C] cigarette [F] and make my [F] bed
[G] Somewhere beneath [C] the stars I was born a [F] blue child
Of [G] the wild western [C] sky But I left my prairie [F] home
Found [G] a boxcar for [C] a ride Now I'm way down in [F] the old Kema
[G] Earning blisters on [C] my feet [E] With [C] my guitar and [F] my buck knife
[G] Thumbing down Woody [C] Guthrie Street So lay me [F] down easy,
[G] lay me [C] down hard
Light my cigarette [F] and make my bed [G] Somewhere [C] beneath the stars
[Am] [G] [C] Don't look for me in [F] glory
[G] Don't look for [C] me below
I'll be riding on [F] that freight
[G] Where the souls of [C] ramblers go
There's [F]
[G] [C]
a sadness that [F] follows [G] Most everywhere [C] I roam
You can see it on [F] my smile
[G] You can smell it on my [C] clothes
Sometimes [F] all that running But [G] it never lasts [C] too long
So keep me [F] good and loaded And [G] I'll keep singing [C] songs
Lay me [F] down easy,
[G] lay me [C] down hard Light my cigarette [F] and make [Dm] my [F] bed
[G] Somewhere beneath [C] the stars Don't look for me [F] in glory
[G] Don't look for me [C] below
I'll be riding on [F] that freight Where [Am] [G] the souls of [C] ramblers go
If [F]
[G] [C]
I don't [Gm] leave here [F] tomorrow I
[G] believe I'll blow out my [C] brains
But either way there'll [F] be sorrow And [G] you won't be seeing [C] me again
Lay me [F] down easy, [G] lay me [C] down hard Light my cigarette [F] and make my bed
[G] Somewhere beneath [C] the stars Don't look for me [F] in glory
[G] Don't look for me [C] below
I'll be riding on [F] that [Dm] freight [F] [G] Where the souls of [C] ramblers go
