INTRO: (4 Bars)
V1 When I started off along the road
I put a young mans shoulder to the wheel
Now I've gotten older with the load
I recognize the hand that makes the deal
CHORUS 1 -----
I laid down in a bed of roses
Woke up, lyin' on a bed of nails
It's the oldest of tales
To lose the wind, from your sails
You lay down in a bed of roses
You wake up, lyin' on a bed of nails
RIFF --> (2 BARS)
V2 You sign your name, you pay the price
You never see the poison in the pen
Well they mark the cards & load the dice
You never see which way the game will end
CHORUS 2 -----
You lay down in a bed of roses
You wake up, lyin' on a bed of nails
It's the oldest of tales
To lose the wind, from your sails
You lay down in a bed of roses, you wake up lyin' on a bed of nails
RIFF --> (2 BARS)
REFRAIN -----
You lay down in a bed of roses, you wake up lyin' on a bed of nails
You lay down in a bed of roses, you wake up lyin' on a bed of nails!
RIFF/OUTRO -----
You lay down in a bed of roses, wake up lyin' on a bed of nails
