Ross Wilson - BED OF NAILS   (R.Wilson / E.O'Brien / J.Pullicino) 

Key of:  A  F#  D  E ?? 


When I started out along the road 
I put a young man's shoulder to the wheel 
Now I've gotten older with the load 
I recognize the hand that makes the deal 

Chorus: 
Lay down in a bed of roses 
Woke up lying on a bed of nails 
It s the oldest of tales 
Lose the wind from your sails 
You lay down in a bed of roses 
And wake up lying on a bed of nails 

You sign your name, you pay the price 
Never see the poison in the pen 
They mark the cards and load the dice 
You never see which way the game will 

Chorus: 
Lay down in a bed of roses 
Woke up lying on a bed of nails 
It s the oldest of tales 
Lose the wind from your sails 
You lay down in a bed of roses 
And wake up lying on a bed of nails
