Chords

[Intro]
C            F
 Lay me down easy

G            C
 Lay me down hard

                        F
 Light my cigarette and make my bed

G                      C
 Somewhere beneath the stars
[Verse 1]
C                   F
 I was born a blue child

G                    C
 Of the wild western sky

                       F
 But I left my prairie home

G                      C
 Found a boxcar for to ride

                      F
 Now I'm way down in Okema

G                        C
 Earning blisters on my feet

                       F
 With my guitar and my buck knife

G                              C
 Thumbing down Woody Guthrie Street
[Chorus]
C            F
 Lay me down easy

G            C
 Lay me down hard

                        F
 Light my cigarette and make my bed

G                      C
 Somewhere beneath the stars

                      F
 Don't look for me in glory

G                   C
 Don't look for me below

                                F
 'Cause I'll be riding on that freight

G                            C
 Where the souls of ramblers go
[Instrumental] C - F - G - C [Verse 2]
C                           F
 And there's a sadness that follows

G                  C
 Most everywhere I roam

                      F
 You can see it on my smile

G                        C
 You can smell it on my clothes

                    F
 Sometimes all that running

G                    C
 It never lasts too long

                      F
 So keep me good and loaded

G                      C
 And I'll keep singing songs
[Chorus]
C            F
 Lay me down easy

G            C
 Lay me down hard

                        F
 Light my cigarette and make my bed

G                      C
 Somewhere beneath the stars

                      F
 Don't look for me in glory

G                   C
 Don't look for me below

                                F
 'Cause I'll be riding on that freight

G                            C
 Where the souls of ramblers go
[Instrumental] C - F - G - C [Verse 3]
C                      F
 If I don't leave here tomorrow

G                           C
 I believe I'll blow out my brains

                            F
 But either way there'll be sorrow

G                           C
 And you won't be seeing me again
[Chorus]
C            F
 Lay me down easy

G            C
 Lay me down hard

                        F
 Light my cigarette and make my bed

G                      C
 Somewhere beneath the stars

                      F
 Don't look for me in glory

G                   C
 Don't look for me below

                                F
 'Cause I'll be riding on that freight

G                            C
 Where the souls of ramblers go
