I watched Barrett perform this on The Voice and I loved it. I couldn't find a tab
that had the way he played this song so I created one. Enjoy!

G G
(verse 1)
G
There's a lot of ways of saying what I wanna say to you
D7 Cadd9 G
There are songs and poems and promises and dreams, that might come true
G Cadd9 Em7
But I won't talk of starry skies or moonlight on the ground
G D7 Cadd9 G
I'll just come right out and tell you I'd just love to lay you down
(chorus)
G
Lay you down and softly whisper, pretty love words in your ear
D7 Cadd9 G
Lay you down and tell you all the things a woman loves to hear
G Cadd9 Em7
I'll let you know how much it means just having you around
G D7 Cadd9 G
Oh darlin how I'd love to lay you down
G D7 Cadd9 G
Ooooooooooooooh
(verse 2)
G G
There's so many ways your sweet love's made this house into a home
D7 Cadd9 G
You've got a way of doing little things that really turn me on
G Cadd9 Em7
Like standing in the kitchen, in your faded cotton gown
G D7 Cadd9 G
With your hair still up in curlers, Oh I'd love to lay you down
(chorus)
G
Lay you down and softly whisper, pretty love words in your ear
D7 Cadd9 G
Lay you down and tell you all the things a woman loves to hear
G Cadd9 Em7
I'll let you know how much it means just having you around
G D7 Cadd9 G
Oh darlin how I'd love to lay you down
(verse 3)
G G
When a whole lot of decembers, are showing in your face
D7 Cadd9 G
Your auburn hair has faded and silver takes it's place
Cadd9 Em7
You'll be just as lovely, and I'll still be around
G D7 Cadd9 G
And if I can I know that I'll still love to lay you down
(chorus)
G
Lay you down and softly whisper, pretty love words in your ear
D7 Cadd9 G
Lay you down and tell you all the things a woman loves to hear
G Cadd9 Em7
I'll let you know how much it means just having you around
G D7 Cadd9 G
Oh darlin how I'd love to lay you down
G D7 Cadd9 G
Oh darlin how I'd love to lay you down
G D7 Cadd9 G
Oh darlin how I'd love to lay you down
