Chorus:
E                     A                            E
Lay down lay down lay down lay down your sword and shield
                      A                  B7        E
Lay down lay down lay down lay down your sword and shield
E                                    A
I'm so tired of fightin' woman, this life is just unreal
   E                     A                  B7        E
So lay down lay down lay down lay down your sword and shield
 
Verse 1:
E                                  A
We've been so busy fightin' for so long
      E                               B7
We're bound to lose a love that is so strong
       E
If you take off all of that armor
         A
And just stack it by the bed
      E                       A     B7     E
You'd be so glad you listened to me when I said

Chorus:
E                     A                            E
Lay down lay down lay down lay down your sword and shield
                      A                  B7        E
Lay down lay down lay down lay down your sword and shield
E                                    A
I'm so tired of fightin' woman, this life is just unreal
   E                     A                  B7        E
So lay down lay down lay down lay down your sword and shield
 
Verse 2:
E                                 A
Don't say your wrong but that I'm right
     E                                  B7
This cold war's gettin' hot and hard to fight
     E                               A
Well we must love each other or we'd never stayed this long
    E                  A       B7     E
So, let's just take it off and get it on
 
Chorus:
E                     A                            E
Lay down lay down lay down lay down your sword and shield
                      A                  B7        E
Lay down lay down lay down lay down your sword and shield
E                                    A
I'm so tired of fightin' woman, this life is just unreal
   E                     A                  B7        E
So lay down lay down lay down lay down your sword and shield
 
Outro:
E                     A                            E
Lay down lay down lay down lay down your sword and shield
                      A                  B7        E
