G                   C         G
[tab]             Em       D
Lay down the song you strum

             G                            C
And rest yourself beneath the strength of strings

             G    D  G
No voice can hope to hum

G                      C        G
Struck by the sounds before the sun

           Em        D
I knew the night had gone

            G                   C
The morning breeze like a bugle blew

            G     D  G
Against the drums of dawn

G                   C         G
Lay down your weary tune, lay down

             Em       D
Lay down the song you strum

             G                            C
And rest yourself beneath the strength of strings

             G    D  G
No voice can hope to hum

G              C             G
The ocean wild like an organ played

            Em        D
The seaweed wove it s strands

            G                  C
The crashin waves like cymbals clashed

            G     D   G
Against the rocks and sands

G                   C         G
Lay down your weary tune, lay down

             Em       D
Lay down the song you strum

             G                            C
And rest yourself beneath the strength of strings

             G    D  G
No voice can hope to hum

G                  C             G
The last of leaves fell from the trees

               Em        D
And clung to a new loves breast

             G                 C
The branches bare like a banjo played

                  G      D G
To the winds that listened best

G                   C         G
Lay down your weary tune, lay down

             Em       D
Lay down the song you strum

             G                            C
And rest yourself beneath the strength of strings

             G    D  G
No voice can hope to hum
