The Breakmen ? That's where I lay down
Tabbed By Stephen Turner, July 2013.

G
Spring rain left when I first met you
D                                          Em
With your long eyelashes and your blush of youth 
Em
You tell the truth and you do your best
G       C
But you can't see the things that you never have discovered yet
C                                       G
Oh it's like that when you're lovin and young
         D                               Em
From the back the mind to the tip of the tongue
Em
The kiss on your lips, your fingertips
G                                                   C
And I'd make the same choice if I had to do it once again
D                  G
That's where I lay down
                              C
That's where I'm gonna lay my head
C                       G
When there is no bed in any town
        D                            Em
And the summer's turned the grass to brown
D                  G
That's where I lay down

G
So I worked the line, I made our life
D                                            Em
And a good time woman became my wife
Em
Good as an oak through the joy and the mess
G       C
But you never know you're leavin til you're lookin back at what you've left
C                                       G
Standin in the doorway open wide 
         D                               Em
In front of the pack you left inside
Em
Spring into summer, summer to fall
G                                                   C
It's your sun-kissed body and honey I can't take it all
D                  G
That's where I lay down
                              C
That's where I'm gonna lay my head
C                       G
When there is no bed in any town
        D                            Em
And the summer's turned the grass to brown
D                  G
That's where I lay down
G
I don't know if love comes and goes
D                                            Em
Or if it's rocksteady and it's me who roams
Em
I'm coming and a going, I'm passin through
G       C
And I'm countin the miles until I'm headin back to you
C                                       G
Oh livin the life I guess I wanted to 
         D                               Em
With my pack on my back and my dusty shoes
Em
With your love in my pocket, I'm keepin it safe
G                                                   C
And I'm carryin it home to you darling now and I can't wait
D                  G
That's where I lay down
                              C
That's where I'm gonna lay my head
C                       G
When there is no bed in any town
        D                            Em
And the summer's turned the grass to brown
D                  G
That's where I lay down
