  G                  C      G
I raised my head and set my sails

       C        G/B           Am7        G
In the eye of a storm, in the belly of a whale

   D               Em    C
My spirit stood on solid ground

     G     D               C      G
I'll be at peace when they lay me down
[Verse 2]
G            C        G
When I was a child, I cried

  C      G/B        Am7    G
Until my needs were satisfied

   D                    Em        C
My needs have grown up, pound for pound

     G     D               C      G
I'll be at peace when they lay me down
[Chorus]
C
 When they lay me down someday

   G
My soul will rise, then fly away

D           Em               C
  This old world will turn around

     G     D               C      G
I'll be at peace when they lay me down
[Verse 3]
G               C        G
This life isn't fair, it seems

     C           G/B       Am7    G
It's filled with tears and broken dreams

      D                  Em   C
There are no tears where I am bound

         G     D               C      G
And I'll be at peace when they lay me down

 When they lay me down someday

  This old world will turn around

     G     D               C      G
I'll be at peace when they lay me down

C
 When they lay me down someday

   G
My soul will rise, then fly away

D           Em               C
  This old world will turn around
