Chords
I took one listen to this song and knew I had to learn how to play it. So, I did. It's
easy. Just listen to the song for proper strumming and rhythm, and enjoy! If you need
further, you can youtube it. A couple of videos have clear views of the chords. Enjoy!
G
I’ll never walk away from thisI’ll pull you closely to my chest
D With a father’s breaking heart G I’ll walk you one last time into the dark G There are no reasons to explain
A solid kill but there’s no blame
D There are no answers though I pray G I die though this is not my grave Am D And I lay you down (lay you down) G I’ll carry you, child to a place where you can rest
Between tears that seep into the heavens and as I put you down to bed
D It tears me into pieces watching you fight to fill your lungs with breath G There’s no need to struggle, there’s no need to struggle Am D And I lay you down (lay you down) G Don’t you cry no more Am D G I lay me down (lay me down) D G Mmm…Ohhhh D C G Well, I’m not ready, I’m not ready for this D C G Oh, I’m not ready, I’m not ready for this G They'll ask no branches from this soil
My broken spirit steals my voice
D I have no secrets to my name G Only the shadows hide my shame
And so I lift you upon my shoulder
Inside a splintered wooden chest
D To Avalon we line the street G I only hope that you’re finally at rest D G I’m not ready for this (I’m not ready, I'm not ready) Am D I lay you down (lay you down) G Don’t you cry no more (I’m not ready, I’m not ready) Am D I lay me down (lay me down) Am D I’d gladly lay me down (lay me down)
