Chords with lyrics

Tuning: Standard (E MajorE A augmentedA D MajorD G+G BB E MajorE)

Verse:
    G+G
It’s a good three hours to Aberdeen,
   B minorBm
and I’ve read all the magazines
    C majorC          D MajorD
And the jokes are all played out
      G+G
or wearin’ thin

  G+G
So I lie back and I close my eyes and
B minorBm
I let that old sadness rise
   C majorC      D MajorD       G+G
And I listen to Hello In There again
  G+G       Bm/G
And riding shotgun all the time, that
B minorBm     C majorC
melancholy ghost of mine
   A minorAm     D MajorD       G+G
Plays Jesus to my lonely Joan of Arc
 C majorC      G+G         D MajorD
Together we go ridin’ through the dark

Chorus:
G+G      B minorBm     C majorC    G+G
 I think I need to lay low for awhile
C majorC       G+G      A minorAm   D MajorD
 Stare at the Gulf of Mexico for awhile
G+G     B minorBm      C majorC     G+G
 Take it easy take it slow for awhile
C majorC      D MajorD      G+G
 I think I need to lay low

Verse:
 G+G
Tonight I’ll call to say hello,
     B minorBm
but your phone’s just gonna ring I know
 C majorC           D MajorD      G+G
I guess some things just cannot be undone
   G+G
So I clutch this guitar to my chest and
B minorBm
wonder just what I’ll have left
   C majorC        D MajorD          G+G
When all of this hard traveling’s finally done
    G+G       Bm/G
You say I’m not who I used to be,
   B minorBm      C majorC
that ain’t exactly news to me
A minorAm      D MajorD         G+G
That girl has long since cut and run
C majorC        G+G      D MajorD
 But baby I am not the only one

Chorus:
G+G      B minorBm     C majorC    G+G
 I think I need to lay low for awhile
C majorC       G+G      A minorAm   D MajorD
 Stare at the Gulf of Mexico for awhile
G+G     B minorBm         C majorC     G+G
 Tell ’em all where they can go for awhile
C majorC      D MajorD      G+G
 I think I need to lay low

Verse:
  G+G
She travels fast who goes alone,
   B minorBm
this wind’ll cut you to the bone
   C majorC         D MajorD      G+G
These truckers sure are flyin here tonight

  G+G
And as for me I’m gettin by,
B minorBm
I still laugh but I can’t cry
   C majorC      D MajorD       G+G
That door is shut and locked up tight
  G+G        Bm/G
The days go by like hazy dreams,
  B minorBm        C majorC
the nights at least I get to sing
A minorAm         D MajorD     G+G
 And suddenly it’s three AM again
     C majorC       G+G          D MajorD
And this sadness like a tide that’s rollin’ in

Chorus:
G+G      B minorBm     C majorC    G+G
 I think I need to lay low for awhile
C majorC       G+G      A minorAm   D MajorD
 Stare at the Gulf of Mexico for awhile
G+G    B minorBm       C majorC    G+G
 Think I need to let it go for awhile
C majorC      D MajorD      G+G
 I think I need to lay low
C majorC      D MajorD      G+G
 I think I need to lay low
