[Chorus]
D C G C G Lay down your weary tune, lay down, Em D Lay down the song you strum, C G D G C And rest yourself 'neath the strength of strings G D G D No voice can hope to hum.
[Verse 1]
D C G C G Struck by the sounds before the sun, Em D I knew the night had gone. C G D G C The morning breeze like a bugle blew G D G D Against the drums of dawn.
[Chorus]
D C G C G Lay down your weary tune, lay down, Em D Lay down the song you strum, C G D G C And rest yourself 'neath the strength of strings G D G D No voice can hope to hum.
[Verse 2]
D C G C G The ocean wild like an organ played Em D The seaweed’s wove its strands C G D G C The crashin’ waves like cymbals clashed G D G D Against the rocks and sands
[Chorus]
D C G C G Lay down your weary tune, lay down, Em D Lay down the song you strum, C G D G C And rest yourself 'neath the strength of strings G D G D No voice can hope to hum.
[Verse 3]
D C G C G I stood unwound beneath the skies Em D And clouds unbound by laws C G D G C The cryin’ rain like a trumpet sang G D G D And asked for no applause
[Chorus]
D C G C G Lay down your weary tune, lay down, Em D Lay down the song you strum, C G D G C And rest yourself 'neath the strength of strings G D G D No voice can hope to hum.
[Verse 4]
D C G C G The last of leaves fell from the trees Em D And clung to a new love’s breast C G D G C The branches bare like a banjo played G D G D To the winds that listened best
[Verse 5]
D C G C G I gazed down in the river’s mirror Em D And watched its winding strum C G D G C The water smooth ran like a hymn G D G D And like a harp did hum
[Chorus]
D C G C G Lay down your weary tune, lay down, Em D Lay down the song you strum, C G D G C And rest yourself 'neath the strength of strings G D G D No voice can hope to hum.
