Lay Me Down Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Dsus4][G][Bm][G][D][G]
[D][G][Bm][Asus4][G]

[Verse 1]
[D]I
suppose you could lay me down [G]to die in Illinois
[Bm]Bury me beneath the rows of [G]corn
Or [D]in-between the the maple trees
[G]I climbed on as a boy
Where [Bm]in the Land of
Lincol[A]n I was b[Asus4]orn[G]

[Verse 2]
Oh, and I re[F]call
We rode the combines in [Bb]the fall
And there comes a time
For [Eb]gathering [F]the har[Dm]vest after [G]all[A]
[G]So

[Verse 3]
when you lay me down to [D]die
I'll miss my [G]boys, I'll miss my [Bm]girls
[Asus4]Lay me down and let m[G]e say
goodbye [A]to this [D]world
You can lay me any[G]where
But just remem[A]ber [Bm]this
When you lay [A]me down [G]to die
You lay me down to [D]live[G]
[Bm][Asus4][D][G]
Well I [D]asked a girl to marry me
[G]on a dock out on the lake
Our [Bm]ba bies came t[Asus4]o life
in Tenness[G]ee
And the [D]music of the mountains
is still [G]keeping me awake
Yeah, but [Bm]everything
[Asus4]that rises fall[G]s asleep

[Verse 4]
We are not [F]alone
We are more than flesh and [Bb]bone
What is seen will [Bbsus2]pass away[Eb]
What is [Dm]not is going h[G]ome

[Verse 5]
When you lay me down to [D]die[Dsus4]
[D]I'll miss my boy[G]s, I'll miss my gir[Bm]ls
[Asus4]Lay me down and let m[G]e say
goodbye to this [D]world
You can lay me any[G]where
But just remem[Asus4]ber this[Bm]
When [A]you lay me down to [G]die

[Verse 6]
I'll open up my [Bm]eyes on the skies
I've never [G]known
In the place where I be[D]long
And I'll realize His [C]love is just
an[G]other word for [Bb]Home[C]

[Verse 7]
[D]I believe in the holy shores
[Dsus4]of uncreated light
[Bm]I believe there is pow[D]er
in the [G]blood[Dsus4]
And [D]all of the death that ever was,
If [G]you set it next to life
[Bm]I believe it would bar[A]ely
fill [G]a cup[D]
[Bm]‘Cause I believe there's
[A]power in the [G]blood

[Verse 8]
When you lay me down to [F]die
[Bb]So long, boys, so lo[Dm]ng, girls
[C]Lay me down and [Bb]let me say good
[C]bye to this [Dsus4]world
[D]You can lay me [G]anywhere
But just remem[Asus4]ber this[Bm]
When [Asus4]you lay me down to d[G]ie
[D]You [G]lay me dow[Bm]n to[Asus4][D][G]
[D]
[G]liv[Bm]e[A][D]
