I've got something that my baby wants

And I've got something that my baby wants
F# Bm
And she's got something that I want too
G F# Bm
Baby and I are through
F#
I've been down to the bottom
Em F# Bm
With a bad, bad man
F#
Down to the bottom, babe
Em F# G
With a bad, bad man
[Chorus]

Lay me down with your gentle hand

[Verse]
F# Em F#
Well, he said this darkness, it was untrue
Bm F#
And first he said this darkness
Em F#
Darlin', it was untrue
G F# Bm G
And that there was no light to be found in you
[Chorus]
F# Bm
But I know, darlin', that that's not true
[Verse]
F#
And I had a dream so black
Em F# Bm
That I could not tell
F#
Oh, honey, I had a dream so dark
Em F# G
That I could not tell
[Chorus]
F# G Bm
But I know that's just as well
[Instrumental]
F# Em F# Bm Em F# G F# Bm
[Verse]
F#
And I don't know, babe
Em F# Bm
Just where you've been
F#
I don't know, darlin'
Em F#
Just where you've been
G F#
But I've hung myself heavy here
G F# Bm Bm
Babe, I don't know where the hell I am
[Verse]
F#
I thought that man, babe
Em F# Bm
He might have something that I need
I thought that man, darlin'
Em F#
He might have something that I need
[Chorus]
G F#
But he had no anger
B
For you or for me
G F#
And, babe, I swear
Bm
That man never even knew I was here
[Instrumental]
F# Em F# Bm Em F# G F# Bm
[Verse]
F#
Some of these friends of mine
Em F# Bm
How I miss them so
F#
Good Lord, these sweet friends of mine
Em F#
How I miss them so
[Chorus]
G F#
But some of these, others beg
G F#
Well they're driving me around
On some cold, dark, and strange
Bm
And deathly roads
[Verse]
F#
Take me down to your river
Em F# Bm
I want to see how it runs
F#
Down to your river, darlin'
Em F# Bm
I want to know just how it runs
G F#
But if that man waits on the path
G F# Bm G
Then I know for good that I'm done
F#
And I got a feeling
G F# Bm
That man, he's just begun
