Intro
D# (x2)
[Verse 1]
D#
Lay me down easy
A#
in the valley or the pines
G#
The Green River gorge
D# A#
above the South Carolina line
D#
Fields filled with gold and
A#
junkyards and the rows
G#
Lay me down easy
D# A# G#
when it's my time to go
[Chorus]
G# D#
When you come for me
A#
Let the mountains
G#
hold my bones
D#
There's a place for me
A# G#
Let me lie down with you in the cove
[Verse 2]
D#
Mama, I dreamed that
A#
I had no hand to hold
G#
And the land I cut my teeth on
D# A#
wouldn't let me call it home
D#
So lay me down easy
A#
in the valley or the pines
G#
Tell me that you'll be there waiting
D# A# G#
standing in the light.
[Chorus]
G# D#
When you come for me
A#
Let the mountains
G#
hold my bones
D#
There's a place for me
A# G#
Let me lie down with you in the cove
[Hold for an extra mesaure]

When you come for me
A#
Let the mountains

hold my bones

There's a place for me
A# G#
Let me lie down with you in the cove
[Chorus]
G# D#
When you come for me
A#
Let the mountains
G#
hold my bones

There's a place for me
A# G#
Let me lie down with you in the cove
