Chords
[Intro]
G Ooh, no,Am no, uh G
Ooh, no,Am no
[Verse 1]
Well Emthis is how it starts,
Two Am/Elovers in the dark
On the Brun, from the one
That they called Sheriff Spark
Six Emguns by their side and Am/Ebullets around their waist
Two Bshots to the sky
Signal sound for the chase
The Emsafe was nearly empty and
Am/EThey were nearly free
But were Bseen by the
Good eye of the mean Billy Green
And he Emscreamed at the top of his lungs Am/E
They're on the run
It's the Btwo outsiders Grab your horses and your guns
G
[Pre-Chorus]
I said I wish that
We could stayAm here,
But I fear our time has come G
And we could ride out in the darkAmness
Chasing the rising Gsun
We gotta pack our bags this inAmstant,
We're heading southbound to the next Gtown
And if we all arrive there so safeAmly,
Baby you can
Lay me Gdown Am
[Chorus]
Lay me Gdown Am
Lay me Gdown Am
Lay me Gdown Am
[Verse 2]
Well it's the Emstory of the two
Am/EAlways on the move
They got Bnothing left to lose
'Cept their guns and their wounds
EmNow they're crossing borders
Sheriffs Am/Eposse on their tail
They'd Brather die together
Than be stuck up in a cell
They Emdrank up all the whiskey and
They Am/Epartied every night
Like Bit could be the last
The bounty said that shoot on sight
So they Emchased the endless summer
Though Am/Eit came with the pride
They Bwouldn't stop running till
They found a paradise
But the Emsheriff finally found them with his Am/Eeyes seeing red
So the Blovers had to shoot him down and fill him full of lead
EmThey were finally free
To find a Am/Eplace to lay their head
And Bwhen they finally did he looked at her and then he said G
[Pre-Chorus]
I said I think that we can stayAm here,
'Cause I feel our time has come G
And we can walk down to the oAmcean,
And sit with the rising Gsun
So unpack your bags this inAmstant,
No more running from town to town G
And now that we've arrived so safeAmly,
Baby you can
Lay me Gdown Am
[Chorus]
Lay me Gdown Am
Lay me Gdown Am
Lay me Gdown Am
Well you're my Ggreeneyed girl
[Bridge]
And I've been runAmning around with you
It's the Gafternoon and we got nothAming left to do
So wipe the Gdirt off, or Take your shirt Am
off,
And we should Ggo hit the cantina, We got work Am
off
I said it's Ghot outside
Let me go swimAmming in your eyes
We've been Grunning for a while
Why don't you lay Amdown and make smile
GI could never ask for nothing betAmter than this
It's just teGquila and the beach, that's why its salAmty when we kiss
[Pre-Chorus]
I said I think that we can stayAm here,
'Cause I feel our time has come G
And we can walk down to the oAmcean,
And sit with the rising Gsun
So unpack your bags this inAmstant,
No more running from town to town G
And now that we've arrived so safeAmly,
Baby you can
Lay me Gdown Am
[Chorus]
Lay me Gdown Am
Lay me Gdown, no Am
Lay me Gdown Am
Lay me Gdown
