E minorEm D MajorD C majorC G+G A minorAm D MajorD G+G

Verse:
       D MajorD     G+G
I sleep in a storefront doorway
    C majorC   A minorAm  D MajorD
You can see me everywhere
   E minorEm   D MajorD      C majorC   G+G
As I hold my hand out for money
 A minorAm  C majorC    D MajorD
Nobody seems to care
      G+G    D MajorD    G+G
They don't want to know my story
    C majorC    A minorAm  D MajorD
They've heard it all before
  E minorEm      D MajorD   C majorC   G+G
I'm just another beggar on the street
  A minorAm   C majorC    D MajorD
Who always asks for more

Chorus:
    G+G    C majorC    G+G
Let me lie down in green pastures
    C majorC   A minorAm   D MajorD
Let me gaze upon the stars
    E minorEm     D MajorD    C majorC  G+G
Let me wake to the sound of birdsong
    A minorAm   C majorC   D MajorD
And the playing of guitars
    G+G      C majorC    G+G
Let me roll in the arms of someone
   C majorC      A minorAm    D MajorD
Whose smile is the light of dawn
      E minorEm   D MajorD    C majorC    G+G
And I will lay me down in peace at last
   A minorAm   D MajorD   G+G
To a new day being born

Instrumental:
E minorEm D MajorD C majorC G+G A minorAm D MajorD G+G

Verse:
     D MajorD    G+G
My body's thin and dirty
    C majorC    A minorAm    D MajorD
And I'm shaking from the cold
    E minorEm   D MajorD    C majorC    G+G
There's no way out, but further down
     A minorAm  C majorC    D MajorD
And I'll die before I'm old
    G+G   D MajorD    G+G
Do not worry, keep on walking
    C majorC    A minorAm  D MajorD
You can turn the other way
    E minorEm   D MajorD    C majorC  G+G
I'm not in the mood for talking
     A minorAm   C majorC    D MajorD
And I've nothing left to say

Chorus:
    G+G    C majorC    G+G
Let me lie down in green pastures
    C majorC   A minorAm   D MajorD
Let me gaze upon the stars
    E minorEm     D MajorD    C majorC  G+G
Let me wake to the sound of birdsong
    A minorAm   C majorC   D MajorD
And the playing of guitars
    G+G      C majorC    G+G
Let me roll in the arms of someone
   C majorC      A minorAm    D MajorD
Whose smile is the light of dawn
      E minorEm   D MajorD    C majorC    G+G
And I will lay me down in peace at last
   A minorAm   D MajorD   G+G
To a new day being born

Verse:
    G+G   D MajorD    G+G
In this brutal land of plenty
     C majorC   A minorAm   D MajorD
It's only plenty for the few
    E minorEm    D MajorD   C majorC   G+G
And my pocket's always empty
      A minorAm   C majorC   D MajorD
And there's nothing I can do
G+G    D MajorD    G+G
Nothing for the needy
     C majorC  A minorAm   D MajorD
And only pity for the poor
     E minorEm    D MajorD  C majorC   G+G
I'm still sleeping in a doorway
      A minorAm   C majorC D MajorD
And I can't take it anymore

Chorus:
    G+G    C majorC    G+G
Let me lie down in green pastures
    C majorC   A minorAm   D MajorD
Let me gaze upon the stars
    E minorEm     D MajorD    C majorC  G+G
Let me wake to the sound of birdsong
    A minorAm   C majorC   D MajorD
And the playing of guitars
    G+G      C majorC    G+G
Let me roll in the arms of someone
   C majorC      A minorAm    D MajorD
Whose smile is the light of dawn
      E minorEm   D MajorD    C majorC    G+G
And I will lay me down in peace at last
   A minorAm   D MajorD   G+G    E minorEm
To a new day being born
    D MajorD    C majorC    G+G
Lay me down in peace at last
   C majorC   D MajorD   G+G
To a new day being born
