It's a pleasant little tune with some simple acoustic strumming. This may not be the exact way that Eric Clapton played it on the album, but it sounds close! ** Capo on the 4th fret! ** G F C Am May you never lay your head down G C Without a hand to hold Am G C F C May you never make your bed out in the cold G F C Am And may you never lose your temper G C If you get hit in a bar room fight Am G C F C May you never lose your woman overnight G Well you're just like a great strong sister to me C F C And I know that your love is true G And you hold no blade for to stab me in my back C F C I know that there's some that do G So please, won't you please, won't you bear it in mind N.C. F Love is a lesson tonight in our time G C F C Please, won't you please bear it in mind for me G F C Am And may you never lay your head down G C Without a hand to hold Am G C F C May you never make your bed out in the cold G F C Am And may you never lose your temper G C If you get hit in a bar room fight Am G C F C May you never lose your woman overnight G Well you're just like a great strong brother to me C F C And I know that your love is true G And you never talk dirty behind my back C F C I know that there's some that do G So please, won't you please, won't you bear it in mind N.C. F Love is a lesson tonight in our time G C F C Please, won't you please bear it in mind for me G F C Am And may you never lay your head down G C Without a hand to hold Am G C F C May you never make your bed out in the cold G F C Am And may you never lose your temper G C If you get hit in a bar room fight Am G C F C May you never lose your woman overnight Am G C F C May you never lose your woman overnight Am G C F C May you never lose your woman overnight Ending: Am G C F C That's it! An easy song, and a fun one too. Comments, corrections: s_garner@hotmail.com
