 G            D
Layin' on my back
                    A
In the newly mown grass
 G              D
Rain is coming down
                            A
But I know the clouds will pass
 D
You bring me tea
                    A
Say "the babe's a-sleepin'"
C           G
Lay down beside me
                   A  G A
Love ain't for keeping

Black ash from the foundry
Hangs like a hood
But the air is perfumed
By the burning firewood
The seeds are bursting
The spring is seeping
Lay down my darling
Love ain't for keeping
Lay down beside me
Love ain't for keeping

C           G
Lay down beside me
                   A G A
Love ain't for keeping

C           G
Lay down beside me
 G                 A  G  A
Love ain't for keeping
C               G
Lay down my darling
 G                 A  G A
Love ain't for keeping
