Lay Down Beside Me 
written and recorded by Don Williams        3/4 time 
  
G          C     D7         G 
I spent my life  lookin' for you 
        C             D7      G 
Findin' my way wasn't easy to do  
    D7               C           G 
But I knew there was you all the while 
    C                     D7 
And its been worth every  mile 
  
   G                  C 
So Lay Down Beside Me love me and hide me 
G                                    D7 
Kiss all the hurtin' of this world a way 
    G                     C 
And hold me so close that I feel your heart beat 
    G          D7       G 
And don't ever wander a way 
  
G            C         D7           G 
Mornings and evenings  all were the same 
             C          D7           G 
There was no music till I heard year name 
    D7          C         G 
But I knew when I saw you smile 
C                    D7 
Now I can rest for a while  
  
   G                  C 
So Lay Down Beside Me love me and hide me 
G                                    D7 
Kiss all the hurtin' of this world a way 
    G                     C 
And hold me so close that I feel your heart beat 
    G          D7       G 
And don't ever wander a way
