 	D	                       Em                            	G
 	   I'll show them 	to you 	and you'll see them shine

 Lay, lady, lay, lay across my big brass bed	 	 	 	 
Stay, lady, stay, stay with your man awhile
Until the break of day, let me see you make him smile
D                             Em                              G
    His clothes are dirty but his hands are clean
And you're the best thing that he's ever seen
G               Bm               F               Am
Stay, lady, stay, stay with your man awhile

 	Bm	                D                   	G
 	Why wait any longer for the 	world to 	begin
 	Bm                 	Am                	G
 	You can have your cake and eat 	it 	too
 	Bm	                  D	                 G
 	Why wait any longer for the 	one you 	love
 	Bm	                  Am                  G
When he's stan	ding in front of 	you

G                 Bm               F                 Am              G     Bm     F       Am
Lay, lady, lay, lay across my big brass bed
Stay, lady, stay, stay while the night is still ahead

D                     Em                  G
I long to see you in the morning light
I long to reach for you in the night

G                 Bm               F                   Am
Stay, lady, stay, stay while the night is still ahead
