This is the version that Kenny does live. The song is played in G, except
for the recording of Conway in the middle, which has him doing it in D.
Also, the words are exact to the live recorded CD version.
* - Strum the chord once
N/C G
There's a lot of way of sayin' what I wanna say to you
D C G
There's songs and poems and promises and dreams that might come true
C G
But I won't talk of starry skies or moonlight on the ground
D C G
But I'll come right out and tell ya I'd just love to lay ya down
N/C G
Lay ya down and softly whisper, pretty love words in your ear
D C G
Lay ya down and tell you all the things my woman loves to hear
C G
I'd let you know how much it means havin' you around
D C G
And Oh darlin' how I'd love you lay you down
(Now the song changes key as Conway's version is played....)
N/C D
There's so many ways your sweet love's made this house into a home
A G D
You've got a way of doin' little things that turn me on
Like standin' in the kitchen, in your faded cotton gown
A G D
With your hair all up in curlers, I'd still love to lay ya down
(Now it goes back to G....)
N/C G
Lay you down and softly whisper, pretty love words in your ear
D C G
Lay ya down and tell you all the things my woman loves to hear
I'd let you know how much it means havin' you around
C G
And oh darlin' how I'd love to lay ya down
G* G*
Now when a whole lot of decembers.... start showin' in your face
D C G
Your auburn hair has faded and silver takes its place
C G
You'll be just as lovely, and I'll still be around
D C G
And if I can I know that I'd still love to lay ya down
N/C G
Lay ya down and softly whisper, pretty love words in you ear
D C G
Lay ya down and tell you all the things my woman loves to hear
C G
I'd let you know how much it means havin' you around
D C G
Oh darlin' how I'd love to lay you down
G* D* N/C ------------------------------->
Oh darlin how I'd love..... Oh darlin how I'd love..... to lay you down
"Thank you.... thank you, Conway!"- spoken
