Lay your head where my heart used to be.
[G] [Db] Hold the earth [Cm] above me.
[Ab] Lay down on the green grass.
[G] Remember [Cm] when you loved me.
Come closer, don't [G]
be shy.
Stand [C] beneath [D] the rainy [Ab] sky.
The [Ab] moon is over [G] the rise.
Think of [Cm] me as the train goes by.
Clear [F] the thistles and brambles.

floating in the [Cm] air.

Stand [Bb] in the shade of me.
[Eb] [Ebm] Things are now made of me.

[G] He'll make [Cm] a tree from me.
Don't say [G] goodbye to [G] me.

And if the sky [G] falls,
Mark my words, [Cm] we'll catch mockingbirds.
