[A]
[Em] Well this is how it [E] starts two lovers in the dark [B] on the run from the one that they call chess rock.
[Em] Six guns by the side [A] and bullets run their way.
[B] Two shots [E] to the sky, sigma sign for the chase.
The safe was nearly empty and they were nearly free.
[B] But was seen by the good eye, the mean and the green [Em] and they screamed at the top [E] of his lungs.
They're on the [A] run, you're the two outsiders
[C#] Grab your horses and your [G] guns
I said I wish that we [E] could stay here
But I fear our [G] time has come
But we can ride out [E] in the darkness
Chasing the [G] rising sun
We've gotta pack up [A] now, you sense that
[Em] We're heading southbound to [G] the next [E] town
And if we arrive [A] there safely
Baby, you can lay [G] me down
[Am] Lay [G] me down
[Am] Lay [G] me down, [Am] brown
Lay [G] me [Am] down
[Em] Well, it's a story of two
[Am] Always on the move, [B] they got nothing left to lose
Except their [Em] guns and their wounds
Now they're crossing [A] borders, Sheriff's posse on their [B] tail
They'd rather die together than be stuck up in a [Em] cell
They drank up all their [Am] whiskey and they partied every [B] night
Like it could be the last of them, they said to shoot on [Em] sight
They did a [E] chase, they had a slumber, and when it came with the [B] bite
They wouldn't stop [C#] running till they found a [E] paradise
But the Sheriff finally found them with the Zazi in [B] red
So the lovers had to shoot them down and fill [Em] them full of lead
They were finally free [E] to find a place to lay their [B] head
And when they finally did, he looked at her and he [G] said
I said I think that we [E] can stay here
But I feel our [G] time has come
And we can walk down to [A] the ocean
And sit with the [G] rising sun
So unpack your [A] bags and [E] stand
No more running from [G] town to town
And now that we've arrived [E] so safely
Baby, you can lay [G] me down
[Am] [G] Lay me down
[Am] [G] Lay me [Am] down
[G] Lay me down
Well, you're my green-eyed [A] girl and I've been running around with [G] you
It's the afternoon [Am] and we got nothing left to [G] do
So wipe the dirt off [Am] or take your shirt off
[G] And we should go hit the canteen and we got work up
I said it's hot outside, [Am] let me go swimming in your [G] eyes
We've been running for a [A] while, watch you late, I'll make you [G] smile
I could never [A] ask for nothing better than [G] this, let's hit tequila
And we should start salty when we kiss
I said I think that [A] we can stay here
[E] But I feel our [G] time has come
And we can walk down [A] to the ocean
And sit with the [G] rising sun
So unpack your [A] bags and stand
[F#] No more running from [G] town to town
And now that we've [A] arrived so safely
[E] Baby, you can lay [G] me down
[Am] [Em] Lay me down
[E] [G] Lay me down
[E] I don't know
[G]
