Intro 2x: A5

G5             D5
Layin' on my back
       D5           A5
In the newly mown grass
G5                D5
 Rain is coming down
       D5                    A5
But I know the clouds will pass
D5
  You bring me tea
                 A5
Say the babe's a-sleepin

C5           G5
 Lay down beside me
G5                 A5
Love ain't for keeping

G5                    D5
 Black ash from the foundry
D5             A5
Hangs like a hood
G5                  D5
 But the air is perfumed
       D5            A5
By the burning firewood
D5
 The seeds are bursting
D5               A5
 The spring is seeping

C5           G5
 Lay down beside me
G5                 A5
Love ain't for keeping
C5           G5
 Lay down beside me
G5                 A5
Love ain't for keeping
