Lay Me Down

• G

G                   C            G             G               C  
Fire and brimstone fell upon my ears as their throats of open graves recited  
G 
fear 
           Em         C                  G            C               Em 
Like the bullets of a gun they drove my tears and my feet to run the hell  
        G 
out of here 
     G             C                G              G       
See, I was born a restless wayward child, I could hear the whole world  
 C          G 
calling me outside 
        Em           C           G        C             Em               G 
Of the masses I routinely sat behind and Lord, I had to see with my own eyes 
 G               Em     D                           Em             C     G 
Take me home, I want to go down the road that will take me to the living oak 
     G                      Em         D                        G 
And Lord, I know that I'm a weathered stone but I owe it to my brothers to  
C           G  
carry them home

 G               Em     D                           Em             C     G 
Take me home, I want to go down the road that will take me to the living oak 
     G                      Em         D                        G 
And Lord, I know that I'm a weathered stone but I owe it to my brothers to  
C           G  
carry them home 
 G              Em      D                          Em             C      G  
Take me home, I want to go down the road that will take me to the living oak 
     G                  Em     D                       G 
And Lord, I know it's a heavy load but we'll carry my brothers, oh we'll  
C           G 
carry them home 

    G               C                   G              G               C 
And oh, there is no power on Earth or below that could ever break our hearts  
              G 
or shake our souls 
             Em                 C          G           Em                C 
And when you lay me down you'll only bury bones 'cause oh, my heart and soul  
           G 
are going home
