Em                       D
Little sisters of the sun lit

                 Em
candles in the rain

G                         D
fed the world on oats and raisins

A                Em
candles in the rain

G                   D
lit the fire to the soul

    A               Em
who never knew his friend

G                 D
Meher Baba lives again

A                Em
candles in the rain

G                     D
to be there was to remember so

A              Em
lay it down again

    G             D
oh lay it down   lay it down

A             Em
lay it down again

G                    D
men can live as brothers

A
candles in the rain

[Chorus]
G         D         F          G
Lay down, lay down, lay it all down

G                    D
Let your white birds smile up

       F                  G
at the ones who stand and frown

G         D         F           G
Lay down, lay down, lay it all down

G                    D
Let your white birds smile up

       F                  Em
at the ones who stand and frown
[Verse 1]
Em         D                  Em
We were so close there was no room

Em        D                Em
We bled inside each others wounds

Em         D                 Em
We all had caught the same disease

Em     D                 Em
We all sang the songs of peace
[Chorus]
G         D         F          G
Lay down, lay down, lay it all down

G                    D
Let your white birds smile up

       F                  G
at the ones who stand and frown

G         D         F           G
Lay down, lay down, lay it all down

G                    D
Let your white birds smile up

       F                  Em
at the ones who stand and frown
[Bridge]
Em D     A            Em
So raise your candles high

Em         G                   D      A          Em
Cos if you don't we could stay black against the night

Em  D          A       Em
Oh  raise them higher again

Em           G                D    A          Em
Then if you do we could stay dry against the rain
[Chorus]
G         D         F          G
Lay down, lay down, lay it all down

G                    D
Let your white birds smile up

       F                  G
at the ones who stand and frown

G         D         F           G
Lay down, lay down, lay it all down

G                    D
Let your white birds smile up

       F                  Em
at the ones who stand and frown
[Verse 2]
Em         D                  Em
We were so close there was no room

Em        D                Em
We bled inside each others wounds

Em         D                 Em
We all had caught the same disease

Em     D                 Em
We all sang the songs of peace

Em    D                Em
Some came to sing some came to pray

Em   D                Em
Some came to keep the dark away
[Bridge]
Em D     A            Em
So raise your candles high

Em         G                   D      A          Em
Cos if you don't we could stay black against the night

Em  D          A       Em
Oh  raise them higher again

Em          G                D    A          Em
Then if you do we could stay dry against the rain

at the ones who stand and frown

G         D         F           G
Lay down, lay down, lay it all down

G                    D
Let your white birds smile up

       F                  Em
at the ones who stand and frown.
