[Intro]
| Am | C | F | C |
| Am | C | F | Fmaj7 |
[Verse 1]
You Amrun yourself ragged ‘til you’re Cblack and blue
FHoney, can I take a few Ctroubles from you?
By the Amlook in your eyes I’d Csay you’ve got a few to sFpare Fmaj7
Give me your Amfamine and flood and your Crumors of war
FPut down the paper and Cwalk out the door
AmFind yourself some shade and a Cwarm patch of Fsun Fmaj7
[Chorus]
C Honey, lay your head downCsus2
C Honey, lay your head downCsus2
And FI’ll take the weight of the Fmaj7world for awhile
FI’ll take the weight of the Fmaj7world for awhile
[Post-Chorus]
| C | C Csus2 | C | C Csus2 |
[Verse 2]
AmI’ll feed the kids that are Cgrowing like weeds
FYou search for honeysuckles Cin your bare feet
And AmI’ll bring you a biscuit and Ccoffee in an hour or Ftwo Fmaj7
AmTrouble never followed me Cto the back wood
Or Fdown by the creek, I Cthink it’s understood
There are Amplaces you can goC where you can always Fbe freeFmaj7
[Chorus]
C Honey, lay your head downCsus2
C Honey, lay your head downCsus2
And FI’ll take the weight of the Fmaj7world for awhile
FI’ll take the weight of the Fmaj7world for awhile
C Honey, lay your head downCsus2
C Honey, lay your head downCsus2
And FI’ll take the weight of the Fmaj7world for awhile
FI’ll take the weight of the Fmaj7world for awhile
[Post-Chorus]
| C | C Csus2 | C | C Csus2 |
[Verse 3]
When the Amshadows stretch long you can Cfind home’s path
FI’ll light a candle and CI’ll draw the bath
AmYou can wash the worriesC from your FbonesFmaj7
When the Amwater has cooled I will Ccarry you to rest
FLay your weary head uCpon my chest
AmI’ll watch through the night no Ctrouble comes your Fway Fmaj7
[Chorus]
C Honey, lay your head downCsus2
C Honey, lay your head downCsus2
And FI’ll take the weight of the Fmaj7world for awhile
FI’ll take the weight of the Fmaj7world for awhile
C Honey, lay your head downCsus2
C Honey, lay your head downCsus2
And FI’ll take the weight of the Fmaj7world for awhile
FI’ll take the weight of the Fmaj7world for awhile
C Honey, lay your head downCsus2
C Honey, lay your head downCsus2
And FI’ll take the weight of the Fmaj7world for awhile
FI’ll take the weight of the Fmaj7world for awhileCsus2 C
