Lay Down Your Weary Tune

              D        G        D
Struck by the sounds before the sun
           Bm        A
I knew the night had gone
    D                           G
The morning breeze like a bugle blew
            D  A     D
Against the drums of dawn

                    G         D
Lay down your weary tune, lay down
             Bm       A
Lay down the song you strum
             D                            G
And rest yourself beneath the strength of strings
             D A     D    G  D
No voice can hope to hum

                        G     D
The ocean wild, like an organ played
            Bm        A
The seaweed wove it's strands
             D                  G
The crashing waves like cymbals clashed
            D  A      D
Against the rocks and sands

                  G         D
I stood unwound beneath the skies
             Bm       A
And clouds unbound by laws
           D                   G
The crying rain like a trumpet sang
              D A    D
And asked for no__ applause

                    G         D
Lay down your weary tune, lay down
             Bm       A
Lay down the song you strum
             D                            G
And rest yourself beneath the strength of strings
             D A     D
No voice can hope to hum

G  D  Bm  A  D  G  D  A  D

                        G        D
The last of leaves fell from the trees
               Bm         A
And clung to a new love's breast
             D                 G
The branches bare like a banjo played
                  D  A     D
To the winds that listened best

                    G       D
I gazed down in the river's mirror
                Bm      A
And watched its winding stream
          D                 G
The water smooth ran like a tune
           D A      D
And like a harp did hum

N.C.
Lay down your weary tune, lay down
N.C.
Lay down the song you strum
N.C.
And rest yourself beneath the strength of strings
N.C.
No voice can hope to hum

D                   G         D
Lay down your weary tune, lay down
             Bm       A
Lay down the song you strum
             D                            G
And rest yourself beneath the strength of strings
             D A     D
No voice can hope to hum
N.C.
No voice can hope to hum
