[Verse 1]
G#
Lay me down easy
D#
in the valley or the pines

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

Let the mountains

hold my bones

There's a place for me

Let me lie down with you in the cove
