Now I Lay Me Down To Cheat by David Allan Coe Guitar Chords

[Chorus]
                      Gm    C
Now I Lay Me Down To Cheat
                      F
On the woman I love so
                             Gm     C
And if I die between these sheets
                             F
I pray to God she?ll never know

F                            Gm    C
She?s the best thing in his life
                     F
Why she worships the ground that he walks on

F                                   Gm     C
She waits up for him at night and worries
                 F    Gm
Till he?s safely home
                                 C                     Gm
She always believes his stories about workin? over time
And in 20 years beside him
C                               F Gm
Cheatin?s never crossed her mind

          C          F
Ah but it crossed his
Early last summer
In the person of a neighbor
                    Gm     C  F
She still calls her friend
And with a little push from drinkin? one too many
                                 Gm
One night in the fall, he gave in
        C
And now, he wishes he could stop himself
    Gm
But there?s no easy way
           C
So he lays down with his lover
And silently he prays

[Chorus]
F#                    B
In his heart and soul
   C#                                           F#
He knew he was playin? a game he could never win
                                        B
But ya know, forbidden fruit is sweet
           C#                        F#              B
Why it was sweet enough to make him risk it all again

             C#
And now, he?s given up on lookin?
                              B
for a way to fight the feelin?
      C#
So he prays this simple pray
And hopes it makes its makes it past the motel ceilin?

[Chorus 2]
                      B    C#
Now I Lay Me Down To Cheat
                      F#
On the woman I love so
                             B     C#
And if I die between these sheets
                             F#
I pray to God she?ll never know
