[Intro] C  Am  F  C  G

C                                Am
Take it down, put it in a jar with butterflies
                    F
Fill it up with some formaldehyde
     C             G
You won't see it again
          C
You said take it slow, it's a mood and it
   Am
Will come and go
                         F
But the joints I needed didn't grow
     C                       G
And left me crippled in your eyes
       F                C
Oh and all good cowboys know
                Am                 G
There ain't no good ol' home sweet home
         F                 C
So I'll raise my protest, raise my drink
      Am                  G
And I won't live here no more
         F                C
Cuz you never learned my name
           Am                  G
It was the one name you should know
           F      C
And I will lay me down
           F      C
And I will lay me down
       F       C         G
I will lay me down, the road

   C                                 Am
A dollar in another jukebox just to dance with you
                     F
Oh but all it does is play the blues
    C              G
And on and on they go
       C                                   
No and I won't be, another mess to clean in
Am
 Aisle three

This late night shift has got me
F
Questioning
    C                    G
If daylight will come at all

        F                C
Oh and all good cowboys know
                Am                 G
There ain't no good ol' home sweet home
         F                 C
So I'll raise my protest, raise my drink
      Am                  G
And I won't live here no more
         F                C
Cuz you never learned my name
           Am                  G
It was the one name you should know
           F      C
And I will lay me down
           F      C
And I will lay me down
       F       C         G
I will lay me down, the road

Here am I, staring standing on a
Am
   Borderline
                            F
This life I'm leading really isn't mine
     C           G
It's sung in 4/4 time

        F                C
Oh and all good cowboys know
                Am                 G
There ain't no good ol' home sweet home

So I'll raise my protest, raise my drink
      Am                  G
And I won't live here no more

And I will lay me down

I will lay me down, the road
