G D
Layin’ on my back
A
In the newly mown grass
G D
Rain is coming down
A
But I know the clouds will pass
D
You bring me tea
A
Say “the babe’s a-sleepin'”
C G
Lay down beside me
A G A
Love ain’t for keeping
Black ash from the foundry
Hangs like a hood
But the air is perfumed
By the burning firewood
The seeds are bursting
The spring is seeping
Lay down beside me
Love ain’t for keeping
C G
Lay down beside me
A G A
Love ain’t for keeping
Lay down beside me
Love ain’t for keeping
Lay down my darling
Love ain’t for keeping
Layin’ on my back
A
In the newly mown grass
G D
Rain is coming down
A
But I know the clouds will pass
D
You bring me tea
A
Say “the babe’s a-sleepin'”
C G
Lay down beside me
A G A
Love ain’t for keeping
Black ash from the foundry
Hangs like a hood
But the air is perfumed
By the burning firewood
The seeds are bursting
The spring is seeping
Lay down beside me
Love ain’t for keeping
C G
Lay down beside me
A G A
Love ain’t for keeping
Lay down beside me
Love ain’t for keeping
Lay down my darling
Love ain’t for keeping
