INTRO

(E minorEm Cmaj7Cmaj7 D MajorD C majorC) x2

VERSE 1

E minorEm            Cmaj7Cmaj7
They settled dust in your hair
  D MajorD          C majorC
To watch you shake and shout it out.
E minorEm         Cmaj7Cmaj7
With our armaments bared
  D MajorD         C majorC
We shed our bags and travel-alls.

E minorEm Cmaj7Cmaj7 D MajorD C majorC

VERSE 2

E minorEm         Cmaj7Cmaj7
From the lee of the wall
  D MajorD             C majorC
He comes in the change and the chariot
E minorEm           Cmaj7Cmaj7
And all his eunuchs in thrall
  D MajorD            C majorC
Can scarce lift his line and lariat.

CHORUS

BB
Here come loose the hounds
  A augmentedA
To blow me down.
      (E MajorE A augmentedA) x3
Blow me down.
BB
On this stretch of ground
   A augmentedA
I'll lay me down.
      AbAb
Lay me down.
     F#F#
To sleep.
(E minorEm Cmaj7Cmaj7 D MajorD C majorC) x2

VERSE 3

E minorEm          Cmaj7Cmaj7
And now stricken with pangs
   D MajorD           C majorC
That tear at our backs like thistle down
E minorEm            Cmaj7Cmaj7
The mirror's soft silver tain
 D MajorD          C majorC
Reflects our last and birthing hour

CHORUS

Here come loose the hounds
  A augmentedA
To blow me down.
      E MajorE A augmentedA E MajorE A augmentedA
Blow me down.
BB
On this stretch of ground
   A augmentedA
I'll lay me down.
      AbAb
Lay me down.

CHORUS

On this stretch of ground

I'll lay me down.

Lay me down.
