Daisy Mae chords

Standard tuning 

Capo on 3rd fret.

 Dm         C
Lay down beside me
  Dm                               C
Close your eyes and feel the noon day sun.
       Dm           C
These eyes, they remind me
       Am                         G
Of a scared and simple doe before she runs.

 Dm         C
John was a Baptist.
    Dm                                C
He feared the world could end at any time.
 Dm                                  C
You and I are charged with this, to hold the essence of a kiss.
    Am                                G
To take these broken plans and make them rhyme.

Am B  C    Am B   C                     G
Daisy Mae, Daisy Mae this hasn't been your day.

Hasn't been your day.

  Dm             C
Here, he never touched you.
   Dm                              C
Inside this house he never called your name.
     Dm                            C               
So stay where I can see you, girl. We both know the outside world
     Am                               G
Is changing and it will never be the same.

    Dm               C
My hands, they are wicked.
    Dm                      C
My head and my heart are wicked, too.
Dm                                    C
All these things that I do wrong, If you weren't given fear so strong
Am                          G
I would not be good enough for you.

 Am B C    Am B   C                     G          F     Am
Daisy Mae, Daisy Mae, this hasn't been your day.

     F
But I won't lay this pistol down
  C
until the sky falls to the ground.
  G
Leave him there to call your name
       F
'till man and land are both the same.

 Am B  C    Am B  C                     G            F
Daisy Mae, Daisy Mae, this hasn't been your day.
 Am B  C    Am B  C                     G         
Daisy Mae, Daisy Mae, this hasn't been your day.
              F               Am
Hasn't been your day.
