Key: Dm

N.C Dm
Well i saw my baby on down by the river
He plans to shoot you dead
He found that bottle of gin sitting on
The table beside my bed
He knows that I drink whiskey I don’t drink Gin
Now your gonna pay for all my sins
So run sweet lover before he does you in

Verse 1:

       Dm
I keep a lover
           Am
On nights so cold
         E
So I can sleep
            Dm           Am
Stop me from feeling old
        Dm               Am
And that lover he holds me oh so tight
     E                                                  Am
So I don’t catch a chill in the cold dark cover of night

Chorus:
          Dm
He tucks me in
          Am
He tucks me real tight
       E
So I am fast asleep
                                             Am F Am
Yeah this may just be a lover I wish to keep

Verse 2:
       Dm
I keep a lover
           Am
Who is 6 ft tall
         E
I think he might be the one
            Dm           Am
I think he might be my all
        Dm               Am
and that lover his arms are safe and strong
     E                                                  Am
And when he goes away i know he won’t be gone for to long

Chorus:
          Dm
He tucks me in
          Am
He tucks me real tight
       E
So I am fast asleep
                                             Am F Am
Yeah this may just be a lover I wish to keep

      E                                                  Am
And i hold his cold dead hand sitting on my cold dead chest

This time i tucked my lover down 6FT deep
