[Intro]
[Strophe]
 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
[Strophe]
     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
[Pont]
            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
[Strophe]

And may you never lay your head down 
G                  C 
Without a hand to hold
