D
Lay me down easy
       A
in the valley or the pines
    G
The Green River gorge
          D              A
above the South Carolina line

D
Fields filled with gold and
    A
junkyards and the rows
            G
Lay me down easy
          D          A       G
when it's my time to go

[Chorus]
G                 D
When you come for me
        A
Let the mountains
        G
hold my bones
                    D
There's a place for me
       A                        G
Let me lie down with you in the cove

[Verse 2]
D
Mama, I dreamed that
  A
I had no hand to hold
        G
And the land I cut my teeth on
          D             A
wouldn't let me call it home
    D
So lay me down easy
       A
in the valley or the pines
G
Tell me that you'll be there waiting
D               A           G
standing in the light.

[Chorus]
G                 D
When you come for me
        A
Let the mountains
        G
hold my bones
                    D
There's a place for me
       A                        G
Let me lie down with you in the cove

When you come for me

There's a place for me
