x[Verse] 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 [Verse] 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 beside me Love ain't for keeping [Bridge] C G Lay down beside me A G A Love ain't for keeping [Outro] Lay down beside me Love ain't for keeping Lay down my darling Love ain't for keeping
