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!
F
I’ll never walk away from thisI’ll pull you closely to my chest
G With a father’s breaking heart F I’ll walk you one last time into the dark F There are no reasons to explain
A solid kill but there’s no blame
G There are no answers though I pray F I die though this is not my grave Dm G And I lay you down (lay you down) F 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
G It tears me into pieces watching you fight to fill your lungs with breath F There’s no need to struggle, there’s no need to struggle Dm G And I lay you down (lay you down) F Don’t you cry no more Dm G F I lay me down (lay me down) G F Mmm…Ohhhh G F F Well, I’m not ready, I’m not ready for this G F F Oh, I’m not ready, I’m not ready for this F They'll ask no branches from this soil
My broken spirit steals my voice
G I have no secrets to my name F Only the shadows hide my shame
And so I lift you upon my shoulder
Inside a splintered wooden chest
G To Avalon we line the street F I only hope that you’re finally at rest G F I’m not ready for this (I’m not ready, I'm not ready) Dm G I lay you down (lay you down) F Don’t you cry no more (I’m not ready, I’m not ready) Dm G I lay me down (lay me down) Dm G I’d gladly lay me down (lay me down)
