LAY LADY LAY by Bob Dylan                    


[Verse 1]

A             #Cm  G            Bm           A #Cm  G  Bm 
Lay lady lay, lay across my big brass bed
A              #Cm   G             Bm            A  #Cm G Bm  
Lay lady lay, lay across my big brass bed
E               #Fm                  A
Whatever colours you have in your mind 
E                    #Fm    A
I'll show them to you and you'll see them shine
A          #Cm   G             Bm           A  #Cm  G  Bm
Lay lady lay, lay across my big brass bed


[Verse 2]

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


[Bridge]
 
#Cm                                E    #Fm           A
Why wait any longer for the world to begin
#Cm                                       Bm    A
You can have your cake and eat it too
#Cm                         E        #Fm        A
Why wait any longer for the one you love
              #Cm              Bm
When he's standing in front of you


[Verse 3]

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