A  
There is nothing that is wrong in wanting you  
                  D            
to stay here with me 
  A 
I know you've got somewhere to go but won't you  
make yourself at home  
    D                            E 
And stay with me, and don't you ever leave 
      A                    D 
      Lay down, Sally, and rest you in my arms 
      E                                   A 
      Don't you think you want someone to talk to 
      A                   D 
      Lay down, Sally, no need to leave so soon 
      E                                       A 
      I've been trying all night long just to talk to you 
A 
The sun ain't nearly on the rise and we still got the  
               D 
moon and stars above 
     A 
Underneath the velvet skies, love is all that matters 
          D                           E 
Won't you stay with me, and don't you ever leave 

      A                    D 
      Lay down, Sally, and rest you in my arms 
      E                                   A 
      Don't you think you want someone to talk to 
      A                   D 
      Lay down, Sally, no need to leave so soon 
      E                                       A 
      I've been trying all night long just to talk to you 
A    
I long to see the morning light colouring your  
        D      
face so dreamily 
   A 
So don't you go and say goodbye,  
you can lay your worries down  
    D                           E 
And stay with me, and don't you ever leave 
      A                    D 
      Lay down, Sally, and rest you in my arms 
      E                                   A 
      Don't you think you want someone to talk to 
      A                   D 
      Lay down, Sally, no need to leave so soon 
      E                                       A 
      I've been trying all night long just to talk to you
