Lay Down
(Transcribed by Jim McGuire)


Lay down, lay down, let it all down
G         D         F           G
Let your white birds smile up at the ones who stand and frown
G                    D                F                  G    D
Lay down, lay down, let it all down
G         D         F           G
Let your white birds smile up at the ones who stand and frown
G                    D                F                  Em

We were so close there was no room
Em          D
We bled inside each others wounds
Em         D
We all had caught the same disease
Em          D
We all sang the songs of peace
Em      D                 Em       D   D7


Chorus as before

So raise your candles high
Em  D      A            Em
Cos if you don't we could stay black against the night
Em          G                   D                  A      Em
Oh raise them higher again
Em    D        A         Em
Then if you do we could stay dry against the rain
Em          G                 D     A         Em    D D7

Chorus as before

Some came to sing some came to pray
Em            D                     Em
Some came to keep the dark away
Em            D               Em

So raise your candles high...

Chorus
