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
