VERSE 1
  A            D          A
I know there's nothing to say
            D        A
Someone has taken my place
              E         A        E
When times go bad, when times go rough,
          A                  D 
won't you lay me down in the tall grass,
    E
and let me do my stuff?


VERSE 2
  A          D          A
I know I got nothing on you
               D          A
I know there's nothing to do
              E           A          E
When times go bad and you can't get enough,
          A                  D
won't you lay me down in the tall grass,
    E       
and let me do my stuff?

    A       D                A
One thing I think you should know,
              D                 A
I ain't gonna miss you when you go
             E               A              E
Been down so long, I've been tossed around enough,
    A            
Oh, couldn't you just
D         E
let me go down and do my stuff?


VERSE 4
  A           D         A
I know you're hoping to find
                    D                 A
Someone who's gonna give you peace of mind
     A        E         A        E
When times go bad, when times go rough
          A                  D
won't you lay me down in the tall grass,
    E       
and let me do my stuff?
