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
