G 
C 
G 
C 
Lay down your weary tomb,
G 
D 
lay down, lay down the song
Em 
D 
you strum
C 
G 
And rest yourself neath
C 
the strength of strings
G 
C 
G 
No voice can hold to hum
C 
G 
Struck by the sounds before the sun
Em 
D 
I knew the night had gone
C 
G 
The morning breeze like
C 
a bugle blew
G 
D 
G 
Against the drums of dawn,
C 
lay down your weary tomb
G 
D 
G 
Lay down, lay down the song
Em 
D 
you strung
C 
G 
And rest yourself neath
C 
the strength of string
G 
No voice can hope to hum
C 
G 
The ocean wild like
C 
G 
an organ played
Em 
D 
The seaweed wove its strands
C 
G 
The crashing waves like
C 
cymbals clashed
G 
D 
G 
Against the rocks and sands
C 
G 
C 
lay down your weary tombs
G 
Lay down, lay down the song
Em 
D 
you strung
C 
G 
And rest yourself neath
C 
the strength of strings
G 
D 
G 
No voice can hope to harm
C 
G 
C 
G 
I stood unwound beneath the sky
C 
Em 
D 
And clouds unbound by laws
C 
G 
The crying rained like
C 
a trumpet sang
G 
D 
G 
And ask for no applause,
C 
lay down your weary tomb
G 
D 
Lay down, lay down the psalm
Em 
D 
you struck
C 
G 
And rest yourself,
C 
meet the strength of strength
G 
D 
G 
No voice can hope to
C 
G 
C 
G 
C 
G 
hum
C 
G 
The last of leaves fell from the trees
Em 
D 
And clung to a new love's breast
C 
G 
C 
The branches bear like a banjo play
G 
Two winds that listen best
D 
G 
C 
I gazed down in the river's mirror
G 
Em 
D 
And watched its winding strum
C 
G 
C 
The water smooth ran like a hymn
G 
D 
C 
And like a heart it hummed
G 
C 
Lay down your weary tune,
G 
lay down, lay down the song
Em 
D 
you strum
C 
G 
And rest yourself,
C 
meet the strength of strings
G 
D 
G 
C 
G 
No voice can hold to hum you
