Stay, lady, stay, stay with your man awhile Until the break of day, let me see you make him smile His clothes are dirty but his hands are clean And you're the best thing that he's ever seen Stay, lady, stay, stay with your man awhile
Why wait any longer for the world to begin
You can have your cake and eat it too
Why wait any longer for the one you love
When he's standing in front of you
Lay, lady, lay, lay across my big brass bed Stay, lady, stay, stay while the night is still ahead I long to see you in the morning light I long to reach for you in the night Stay, lady, stay, stay while the night is still ahead
I think this song originally is played in the key of A, so one have to transpose it up one whole step. Note also that it is played with chords moving down the frets in the "Lay lady lay"-part:
A in 5th fret C#m in 4th fret G in 3rd Bm in 2nd.
One should also note the use of Asus4 in the B-part. ******************************
