Intro: G Am G Am Ho-woah-oo-oh-ho-ho-oo-woah- no Verse: Em Am Well this is how it starts two lovers in the dark B On the run from the one that they call Sheriff Sparks Em Am Six guns by the side and bullets round their waist B Two shots to the sky signal sound for the chase Em Am The safe was nearly empty and they were nearly free B But was seen by the wood eye of the mean Billy Greene Em Am And he screamed at the top of his lungs theyre on the run! B Its the two outsiders grab yer holsters and yer guns! Chorus: G Am I said I wish that we could stay here G But I fear our time has come Am Oh we can ride out in the darkness G Chasing the rising sun Am We gotta pack our bags this instant G Were heading southbound to the next town Am And if we arrive there so safely Am G G G Am Baby you can lay me down G G G Am Lay me down G G G Am Lay me down G G G Am Lay me down Verse: Em Am Well its the story of the two always on the move B They got nothing left to lose cept their guns and they wounds Em Am Now theyre crossing borders sheriffs posse on their tail B They rather die together than be stuck up in a cell Em Am They drank up all the whiskey and they partied every night B Like it could be the last the bounty said to shoot on sight Em Am So they chased the endless summer though it came with a price B They wouldnt stop running til they found a paradise Em Am But the Sheriff finally found em with his eyes seeing red B So the lovers had to shoot him down and fill him full of lead Em Am They were finally free to find a place to lay their head B And when they finally did he looked at her and then he said: Chorus: G Am I said I wish that we could stay here G But I fear our time has come Am Oh we can walk down to the ocean G And sit with the rising sun Am We gotta pack our bags this instant G No more running from town to town Am And if we arrive there so safely Am G G G Am Baby you can lay me down G G G Am Lay me down G G G Am Lay me down G G G Am Lay me down Verse: G G G Am Well youre my green eyed girl and Ive been running round with you G G G Am Its the afternoon and we got nothing left to do G G G Am So wipe the dirt off or take yer shirt off G G G Am And we should go hit the cantina we got work off G G G Am I said its hot outside let me go swimming in your eyes G G G Am Weve been running for a while whyoncha lay down make me smile G G G Am I could never ask for nothing better than this G Its just tequila and the beach thats why its salty when we kiss Chorus: G Am I said I wish that we could stay here G But I feel our time has come Am Oh we can walk down to the ocean G And sit with the rising sun Am We gotta pack our bags this instant G No more running from town to town Am And if we arrive there so safely Am G G G Am Baby you can lay me down G G G Am Lay me down G G G Am Lay me down G G G Am Lay me down G Lay me down Outro: G Am
