Lay It Down chords by Nichole Nordeman

Guitar chords with lyrics

Since the original is played on piano, I like to finger pick this song...
just a basic up and down arpeggio sounds nice (in my opinion).
Hope you like it!  :)

Lay It Down ~ Nichole Nordeman

VERSE 1:
E minorEm                C majorC
To every son and daughter
D MajorD            E MajorE
Wayward and long gone
E minorEm             C majorC
The love of a father
D MajorD                E MajorE      Cmaj7Cmaj7
Will leave the light on


VERSE 2:
E minorEm                  C majorC
Tried to throw you off track
D MajorD              E MajorE
A augmentedA needle in a haystack
E minorEm                    C majorC
I don't know how you found me
D MajorD                  E MajorE        Cmaj7Cmaj7
Or why you let me come back

E minorEm             C majorC        A minorAm        D MajorD                 E minorEm
'Cause it's a long way home when all you're left to carry
       C majorC        A minorAm           E minorEm                  D MajorD
Is a heart of stone and the weight of most the world
And I'd like to...

CHORUS:
E minorEm       C majorC
Lay it down a little
E minorEm       C majorC
Lay it down a lot
G+G                D MajorD          E minorEm
I don't want to hold it anymore
         C majorC       E minorEm
Lay it down in pieces
E minorEm       C majorC
Lay it down in whole
G+G                 D MajorD
Everything I've carried on my own
E minorEm                  C majorC
Lay it down, lay it down
E minorEm                  C majorC
Lay it down, lay it down


VERSE 3:
E minorEm           C majorC
I spent your money
D MajorD              E MajorE
Living on the fringes
E minorEm               C majorC
But you threw a party for me
D MajorD                 E MajorE
Invited all your big friends


PRE-CHORUS 2:
E minorEm           C majorC        A minorAm          D MajorD      E minorEm
And I have learned a little bit about a heavy load
           C majorC         A minorAm              E minorEm                  D MajorD
All that gleams and glitters is not worth its weight in gold
And I know I should...


CHORUS:
E minorEm       C majorC
Lay it down a little
E minorEm       C majorC
Lay it down a lot
G+G                D MajorD          E minorEm
I don't want to hold it anymore
         C majorC       E minorEm
Lay it down in pieces
E minorEm       C majorC
Lay it down in whole
G+G                 D MajorD
Everything I've carried on my own
E minorEm                  C majorC
Lay it down, lay it down
E minorEm                  C majorC
