Couldn't find a version of this song and have been enjoying all TGA tabs uploaded by
others for the
last 15 (!) years so tried making one myself. Happy to hear feedback (especially that
solo).
[Intro]
Am G F C x4
[Verse]
Am G
F C
And she doesn't know my name
Am G
But I'm afraid that if I see her
F C
I will not see you again
Am G
Sometimes she passes by the window
F C
Her skin is pearl and pale and ghost
Am G
And I hear someone crying sometimes
F C G
Like there was really something wrong
[Chorus]
C G
I hear her singin', "Lay down in my arms
Am F G
Lover, you will one day miss all my charms
C G
So come on, lay down in my arms
Am F G
Sleep, baby, sleep, the cruel morning is not very far"
[Instrumental]
Am G F C x2
[Verse]
Am G
I never see her watch the sunrise
F C
I hear a record lightly play
Am G
Sometimes I think I hear some movement
F C
Like something can't get away
Am G
Now there's a picture in a Bible
F C
That I swear I've seen before
Am G
Where she was bathing on the rooftop
F C G
While David looked on
[Chorus]
C G
I hear her singin', "Lay down in my arms
Am F G
Lover, you will one day miss all my charms
C G
So come on, lay down in my arms
Am F G
Sleep, baby, sleep, the cruel morning is not very far"
[Solo]
C G
I hear her singin', "Lay down in my arms
Am F G
Lover, you will one day miss all my charms
C G
So come on, lay down in my arms
Am F G
Sleep, baby, sleep, the cruel morning is not very far"
[Instrumental]
Am G F C x2
[Outro]
Am G
I live in the room above her
F C
And I never make a sound
Am G
Except the matches for the candles
F C
And the radio turned down
