Difficulty: Novice

Chorus:
N.C.
Lay down your weary tune, lay down
N.C.
Lay down the song you strum
N.C.
And rest yourself beneath the strength of strings
N.C.
No voice can hope to hum

Verse:
              D        G        D
Struck by the sounds before the sun
           Bm        A
I knew the night had gone
    D                           G
The morning breeze like a bugle blew
            D  A     D
Against the drums of dawn
Chorus:
                    G         D
Lay down your weary tune, lay down
             Bm       A
Lay down the song you strum
             D                            G
And rest yourself beneath the strength of strings

No voice can hope to hum

Verse:
                        G     D
The ocean wild, like an organ played
            Bm        A
The seaweed wove it's strands
             D                  G
The crashing waves like cymbals clashed
            D  A      D
Against the rocks and sands

Verse:
                  G         D
I stood unwound beneath the skies
             Bm       A
And clouds unbound by laws
           D                   G
The crying rain like a trumpet sang
              D A    D
And asked for no__ applause

Chorus:
                    G         D
Lay down your weary tune, lay down
             Bm       A
Lay down the song you strum
             D                            G
And rest yourself beneath the strength of strings
             D A     D
No voice can hope to hum

Instrumental:
G  D  Bm  A  D  G  D  A  D

Verse:
                        G        D
The last of leaves fell from the trees
               Bm         A
And clung to a new love's breast
             D                 G
The branches bare like a banjo played
                  D  A     D
To the winds that listened best

Verse 5:
                    G       D
I gazed down in the river's mirror
                Bm      A
And watched its winding stream
          D                 G
The water smooth ran like a tune
           D A      D
And like a harp did hum

Chorus:
N.C.
Lay down your weary tune, lay down
N.C.
Lay down the song you strum
N.C.
And rest yourself beneath the strength of strings
N.C.
No voice can hope to hum

Chorus:
D                   G         D
Lay down your weary tune, lay down

Lay down the song you strum
             D                            G
And rest yourself beneath the strength of strings
             D A     D
No voice can hope to hum
N.C.
No voice can hope to hum
