Dm         C 
Lay down beside me 
  Dm                               C 
Close your eyes and feel the noon day sun. 
       Dm           C 
These eyes, they remind me 
       Am                         G 
Of a scared and simple doe before she runs. 

 Dm         C 
John was a Baptist. 
    Dm                                C 
He feared the world could end at any time. 
 Dm                                  C 
You and I are charged with this, to hold the essence of a kiss. 
    Am                                G 
To take these broken plans and make them rhyme. 

Am B  C    Am B   C                     G 
Daisy Mae, Daisy Mae this hasn't been your day. 
             F               Am 
Hasn't been your day. 

  Dm             C 
Here, he never touched you. 
   Dm                              C 
Inside this house he never called your name. 
     Dm                            C                
So stay where I can see you, girl. We both know the outside world 
     Am                               G 
Is changing and it will never be the same. 

    Dm               C 
My hands, they are wicked. 
    Dm                      C 
My head and my heart are wicked, too. 
Dm                                    C 
All these things that I do wrong, If you weren't given fear so strong 
Am                          G 
I would not be good enough for you. 

 Am B C    Am B   C                     G          F     Am 
Daisy Mae, Daisy Mae, this hasn't been your day. 

     F 
But I won't lay this pistol down 
  C 
until the sky falls to the ground. 
  G 
Leave him there to call your name 
       F 
'till man and land are both the same. 

 Am B  C    Am B  C                     G            F 
Daisy Mae, Daisy Mae, this hasn't been your day. 
 Am B  C    Am B  C                     G          
Daisy Mae, Daisy Mae, this hasn't been your day. 
              F               Am 
Hasn't been your day.
