  My first time doing this, so sorry for any mess-ups. This song is very simple. It
sounds better if you use a palm mute between sturms. You may want to listen to the
song for a better chance at picking up the sturm pattern.

Tuning: Standard

Verse 1
   C                       F
I come over early in the morning
            C                   F
I’m like a heat wave, without warning
              C                           F
And when I touch you my heart begins to flutter
                        C                  F     G(Bar chord)
Cos you're smooth and creamy like peanut butter

Chorus
 C                   F
Girl I wanna lay you down
         C                    F
(I said) girl I wanna lay you down

Verse 2
          C                       F
I'm gonna flood you, like a love river
             C                      F
Awe baby the post man, is about to deliver
                  C                F
Cook you up some dinner, a little pasta
                 C             F
Listen to some music, a little rasta

(chorus)

Verse 3
              C                   F
Turn off the lights, bring in the candles
             C                 F
wrap your arms around my love handles...
               C               F
They say that passion may not endure
           C                             F   
But this feeling that I have for you is burning up my world


(this is the same as the chorus)

Aweee, I said girl I wanna lay you down
(I said) girl I wanna lay you down
Girl I wanna lay you down
Girl I wanna lay you down
Girl I wanna lay you down
Girl I wanna lay you down
Girl I wanna lay you down
