Dm | Dm | G7 | G7 | Dm | Dm | G7 | G7 Dm God knows how long she was waiting on the mountain G7 Dm Staring at the river, watching all her dreams go by Dm Every single morning she sang of crystal fountains G7 Dm Counting the days until she spread her wings and fly She had her eye on a man, the hero of the valley Born in an alley wearing felony-shoes When it came to the ladies, that man became a legend Famous for his freedom, free to pick and choose A Dm Lay your money, lay your money down A Dm Lay your money, lay your money down It was a marriage made in heaven, meant for each other Natural born lovers want to sing each other's song It was too good to be true, too good not to try Too soon to tell, it was too late to cry There were shadows in the kitchen, poison in the air Secrets to be hidden, they were too much to care It was lipstick for breakfast, and fine wine in a glass Resentments in the mirror, there was no way you can last Lay your money, lay your money down Lay your money, lay your money down There was static on the juke box and murder on their minds Money on the table, there were walls left to climb Lights across the water, and fireworks in the sky Paradise Nevada on the fifth night of July Twisting like a dancer she took everything he had This side of Whiskey nothing cut in half is bad There are losses, there are debts, there are winners to be found There are whales, there are bets, there are losers in the ground Lay your money, lay your money down Lay your money, lay your money down
