Caroline Herring - Lay My Burden Down



INTRO: G

       D             G
When I lay my burden down
             C                   G
I'll hear no mourners outside my window
       D           G
Put my body in the ground
           C              G       D
Because my spirit will be free at last
N.C.        G             B7
And I'll be flying in the darkness
              C              G      D
I'll ride the wind without a sound___
       G      D      G      C  G  D  G
When I lay my burden down

       D                    G
When I see that great green valley
             C                   G
The haunting shadows will fade behind me
         D                       G
A golden highway stretched out before me
           C             G  D
And I will walk into the sunrise
N.C.     G            B7
With the lion and the lamb
        C             G      D
And the beasts of the field___
          G      D    G       C  G  D  G
When your secret is revealed


INSTRUMENTAL: D  G  C  G  D  G  C  G  D  G  D  G


       D             G
When I lay my burden down
           C                   G
Could be tomorrow, god has not told me
    D          G
And now I will love
             C                        G      D
With all the heart, soul and strength within me
N.C. G            B7
As a mother and a lover
      C            G
And a sister and a daughter
                       B7
And then one day, over Jordan
         C                     G      D
I'll see angels, hear trumpets sound___
       G      D      G     C
When I lay my burden down___
       G      D      G       D  G
