Chords with lyrics
Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)
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
