Lay Down Lay Low

Capo II

   A minorAm         E minorEm      D MajorD        A minorAm
As I stand on the river bridge silent on this thirsty ridge
    A minorAm         E minorEm          D MajorD
No more birds will sing for me on this desperate day
        A minorAm       E minorEm       D MajorD         A minorAm
And I've walked far to make it here I know my path is plain and clear
     A minorAm          E minorEm      D MajorD
And I'll take to rest a final time on that clay
      A minorAm          E minorEm       D MajorD          A minorAm
So take me back to where I wanna be when you're young there's a melody
      A minorAm    E minorEm     D MajorD
Winds that blow from over in the west
       A minorAm          E minorEm           D MajorD       A minorAm
And all the trees shake like they bow and pray like they all know us by name
     A minorAm       E minorEm      D MajorD
Will they call to me once more before I go

FF    C majorC      FF         A minorAm   G+G
Oooo lay down lay low Oooo they say it's quiet there
FF    C majorC      FF       A minorAm      G+G
Oooo lay down lay low Oooo I wanna finally fall down fall down

     A minorAm            E minorEm     D MajorD       A minorAm
Don't believe everything that you hear about angels drawing near
     A minorAm      E minorEm         D MajorD
But I'll hold on to a ghost who knows my name
     A minorAm      E minorEm        D MajorD      A minorAm
Mornings take me by surprise these are dreaming open eyes
      A minorAm       E minorEm       D MajorD
And we make miracles every moment of every day

FF    C majorC      FF         A minorAm   G+G
Oooo lay down lay low Oooo they say it's quiet there
FF    C majorC      FF       A minorAm      G+G
Oooo lay down lay low Oooo I wanna finally fall down fall down

A minorAm - E minorEm - D MajorD - A minorAm - A minorAm - E minorEm - D MajorD - D MajorD (repeat verse progression while the band jams for a bit)

   A minorAm         E minorEm     D MajorD        A minorAm
As I stand on the river bridge I recall this barren ridge
      A minorAm     E minorEm     D MajorD
West winds blow for me a melody today
        A minorAm       E minorEm       D MajorD        A minorAm
And I've walked far to make it here I know in time I'll see it clear
        A minorAm        E minorEm       D MajorD
Some things are gone for good but instant in your mind
A minorAm  G+G  E minorEm  D MajorD  A minorAm  G+G  E minorEm  D MajorD
Oooo Oooo Oooo Oooo Oooo Oooo Oooo Oooo
