[Verse 1]
Dm C Dm We were so close, there was no room C Dm We bled inside each other's wounds C Dm We all had caught the same disease C Dm And we all sang the songs of peace C Dm Some came to sing, some came to pray C Dm Dm C* Some came to keep the dark away
[Chorus]
F N.C
Lay down, lay downN.C
Lay it all down
N.C
Let your white birds smile up
N.C
At the ones who stand and frown
F C You got to lay down, lay down Eb F Lay it all down F C Let your white birds smile up Eb Dm At the ones who stand and frown
[Post-Chorus]
C G Dm So raise the candles high F C Dm Cause if you don't we could stay black against the night F C Dm Oh, raise them higher again F C Dm And if you do we could stay dry against the rain
[Chorus]
F C Lay down, lay down Eb F Lay it all down F C Let your white birds smile up Eb F At the ones who stand and frown F C Lay down, lay down Eb F Lay it all down F C Let your white birds smile up Eb Dm At the ones who stand and frown
[Spoken]
Dm Little sisters of the sun lit C Dm Candles in the rain
Fed the world on oats and raisins
C Dm Candles in the rain
And then they lit the fire to the soul
C Dm Who never knew he had a friend
"All men can live as brothers" I heard him say
C Dm Candles in the rain
To be there was to remember so
C Dm I'm gonna lay it down again
I'm gonna lay it down one more time
C Dm Gonna lay it down, lay it down again
I think that men can live as brothers
C Dm Candles in the rain
[Post-Chorus]
C G Dm So raise the candles high F C Dm Cause if you don't we could stay black against the night F C Dm Oh, raise them higher again F C Dm And if you do we could stay dry against the rain
[Chorus]

F C Lay down, lay down Eb F Lay it all down F C Let your white birds smile up Eb F At the ones who stand and frown F C (You gotta) Lay down, lay down Eb F Lay it all down F C I think that men can live as brothers Eb Dm Candles in the rain
