Lay Me Down ? Dirty Heads
(Intro) G G, Am Am, G G, Am Am

Em EmAm Am
Well this is how it starts Two lovers in the dark
B B
On the run, from the one That they called Sheriff Spark
Em EmAm Am
Six guns by their side and Bullets around the waist
B B
Two shots to the sky Sing the sound for the chase
Em EmAm Am
The safe was nearly empty and They were nearly free
B B
But were seen by the Good eye of the mean Billie Green
Em EmAm Am
And he screamed at the top of his lungs They're on the run
B B
It's the two wild siders Grab your horses and your guns


GAm
I said I wish that We could stay here,
G G
But I fear our time has come
Am Am
We could ride out in the darkness
G G
Chasing the rising sun
Am Am
We gotta pack out bags this instant,
G G
We're heading south-bound to the next town
Am Am
And if we all arrive there so safely,
G G G G G G Am Am Am Am
Baby you can Lay me down...(x4)

Em EmAm Am
Well it's the story of the two always on the move.
B B
They got nothing left to lose 'Cept thier guns and their wounds

Now they're crossing borders Sherriffs posse on their tail
Em EmAm Am
They'd rather die together Than be stuck up in a cell.
B B
They drank up all the whiskey and They partied every night
Em EmAm Am
Like it could be the last The bounty said shoot on sight.



B B
So they chased the enless summer Though it came with the pride.
Em EmAm Am
They would'nt stop running till They found a paradise.
B B
But the sheriff finally found them with his eyes seeing red.
Em EmAm Am
So the lovers had to shoot him down And fill em full of lead
B B
They were finally free To find a place to lay their head
Em EmAm Am
And when they finally did he looked at her and then he said.


GAm
I said I think that we can stay here,
G G
Cause I feel our time has come.
Am Am
And we can walk down to the ocean,
G G
And sit with the rising sun.
Am Am
So unpack your bags this instant,
G G
No more running from town to town
Am Am
And now that we've arrive so safely,
G G G G G G Am Am Am Am
Baby you can Lay me down...(x4)

Em EmAm Am
Well you're my green-eyed girl And I've been running around with you.
B B
It's the afternoon and we got nothing left to do.
Em EmAm Am
So wipe the dirt off, eh Take your shirt off,
B B
And we should go hit the cantina, We got work off.
Em EmAm Am
I said it's hot outside Let me go swimming in your eyes.
B B
We've been running for a while
Em EmAm Am
Why don't you lay it on and make smile.
B B
I could never ask for nothing better than this.
Em EmAm Am
It's just tequila and the beach, that?s why its salty when we kiss.




GAm
I said I think that we can stay here,
G G
Cause I feel our time has come.
Am Am
And we can walk down to the ocean,
G G
And sit with the rising sun.
Am Am
So unpack your bags this instant,
G G
No more running from town to town
Am Am
And now that we've arrive so safely,
G G G G G G Am Am Am Am
Baby you can Lay me down...(x4)

Yeah I'm confused with that part. Is the GAm just like one strum of the G then Am for the rest of the line?

"EmAm" should just be "Em"

"GAm" needs to be adjusted. Otherwise the chords seem simple enough and they sound correct.
