LAY LADY LAY by Bob Dylan                    


G             Bm  F            Am           G Bm  F  Am 
Lay lady lay, lay across my big brass bed
G              Bm   F             Am            G  Bm F Am  
Lay lady lay, lay across my big brass bed
D               Em                  G
Whatever colours you have in your mind 
D                    Em    G
I'll show them to you and you'll see them shine
G          Bm   F             Am           G  Bm  F  Am
Lay lady lay, lay across my big brass bed

Stay lady stay, stay with your man awhile   A C#m G Bm
Until the break of day, let me see you make him smile    A C#m G Bm
His clothes are dirty but his hands are clean
And you're the best thing that he's ever seen
Stay lady stay, stay with your man awhile  A C#m G Bm

Bm                                D    Em           G
Why wait any longer for the world to begin
Bm                                       Am    G
You can have your cake and eat it too
Bm                         D        Em        G
Why wait any longer for the one you love
              Bm              Am
When he's standing in front of you

Lay lady lay, lay across my big brass bed     A C#m G Bm
Stay lady stay, stay while the night is still ahead     A C#m G Bm
I long to see you in the morning light
I long to reach for you in the night
Stay lady stay, stay while the night is still ahead

G     Bm     F    Am     G     Am     Bm     C     G
