• Difficulty: Beginner

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

So I am fast asleep

Yeah this may just be a lover I wish to keep
