Lyrics & chords

[Chorus 1]
And [G]may you [C]never lay your [Am]head down
With[G]out a hand to [C]hold
And may you [Am]never make
your [G]bed out in the [C]cold
You're [G]just

[Verse 1]
like a great strong brother of mine
You [C]know that I love you true
And you [G]never talk dirty behind my back
And I [C]know that there's those that do
Oh, [G]please won't you,
please won't you bear it in mind
[Am]Love is a lesson to learn in our time
Now [G]please won't you,
please won't you bear it in [C]mind for me
And [G]may you

[Chorus 2]
[C]never lay your [Am]head down
With[G]out a hand to [C]hold
And may you [Am]never make
your [G]bed out in the [C]cold
Well you're [G]just

[Verse 2]
like a good close sister to me
You [C]know that I love you true
And you [G]hold no blade to stab me in the back
And I [C]know that there's some that do
Oh [G]please won't you,
please won't you bear it in mind
[Am]Love is a lesson to learn in our time
Now [G]please won't you,
please won't you bear it in [C]mind for me
And [G]may you

[Chorus 3]
[C]never lay your [Am]head down
With[G]out a hand to [C]hold
And may you [Am]never make
your [G]bed out in the [C]cold
You're [G]just

[Verse 3]
like a great strong brother of mine
You [C]know that I love you true
And you [G]never talk dirty behind my back
And I [C]know that there's those that do
Oh, [G]please won't you,
please won't you bear it in mind
[Am]Love is a lesson to learn in our time
Now [G]please won't you,
please won't you bear it in mind for [C]me
And [G]may you

[Chorus 4]
[C]never lose your [Am]temper
If you get [G]in a bar room [C]fight
May you [Am]never lose your [G]woman over[C]night
[G]May you [C]never lay your [Am]head down
With[G]out a hand to [C]hold
And may you [Am]never make
your [G]bed out in the [C]cold
[G]May you

[Outro 1]
[C]never lose your [Am]temper
If you get [G]in a bar room [C]fight
May you [Am]never lose your [G]woman [C]o- vernight
May you [Am]never lose your [G]woman over[C]night
May you [Am]never lose your [G]woman [C]o- vernight
