(verse)
 A
Would you lay with me
       E        A
In a field of stone
        E
If my needs were strong
          A
Would you lay with me

  A
Should my lips grow dry
           E        A
Would you wet them dear
        E
In the midnight hour
       A
If my lips were dry
           D
Would you go away
     A
To another land
         D
Walk a thousand miles
             E  A    E
Through the burning sand

(break)
            A
Wipe the blood away
        E     A
From my dying hand
      D    A D   A   E (riff)
If i (give myself to you)
                                    (riff)

Will you still love me
When i'm down and out
In my time of trial
Will you stand by me

(chorus)
Would you go away
To another land
Walk a thousand miles
Through the burning sand

(break)
Wipe the blood away
From my dying hand
If i (give myself to you)

(verse)
Would you lay with me
In a field of stone
If my lips grow dry
Would you wet them dear

Would you bathe with me
In the stream of life
Will you still love me
When i'm down and out

Would you lay with me
In a field of stone
When the moon is full
Would you lay with me
