Lay Down Beside Me

G          C     D7         G
I spent my life  lookin' for you
        C             D7      G
Findin' my way wasn't easy to do 
    D7               C           G
But I knew there was you all the while
    C                     D7
And its been worth every  mile
 
   G                  C
So Lay Down Beside Me love me and hide me
G                                    D7
Kiss all the hurtin' of this world a way
    G                     C
And hold me so close that I feel your heart beat
    G          D7       G
And don't ever wander a way
 
G            C         D7           G
Mornings and evenings  all were the same
             C          D7           G
There was no music till I heard year name
    D7          C         G
But I knew when I saw you smile
C                    D7
Now I can rest for a while 
 
   G                  C
So Lay Down Beside Me love me and hide me
G                                    D7
Kiss all the hurtin' of this world a way
    G                     C
And hold me so close that I feel your heart beat
    G          D7       G
And don't ever wander a way
