A                          A7   
Would you lay with me in a field of stone 
E                                  E7       A 
If my needs were strong, would you lay with me 
A                                  A7 
Should my lips grow dry, would you wet them dear 
E                           E7        A 
In the midnight hour, if my lips were dry 

 
A            D       A 
Would you go away to another land 
       D                          A       E 
Walk a thousand miles through the burning sand 
A                           A7 
Wipe the blood away from my dyin’ hand 
D                   E 
If I gave myself to you 

A                               A7 
Would you bathe with me in the stream of life 
E                                E7        A 
When the moon is full, would you bathe with me 
A                               A7 
Will you still love me when I’m down and out 
E                             E7       A 
In my time of trials will you stand by me 


A            D       A 
Would you go away to another land 
       D                          A       E 
Walk a thousand miles through the burning sand 
A                           A7 
Wipe the blood away from my dyin’ hand 
D                   E 
If I gave myself to you 

A                          A7   
Would you lay with me in a field of stone 
E                                  E7       A 
If my needs were strong, would you lay with me 
A                                  A7 
Should my lips grow dry, would you wet them dear 
E                           E7        A 
In the midnight hour, if my lips were dry
