[Verse 1]
C#
Lay me down easy

in the valley or the pines

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

Let the mountains

hold my bones

Let me lie down with you in the cove
