Lay down your weary tune lay down lay down the song you strum G C G D G And rest yourself neath the strength of strings no voice can hope to hum G C G Struck by the sounds before the sun Em D I knew the night had come G C The morning breeze like a bugle blew G D G Against the drums of dawn G C G Em D Lay down your weary tune lay down lay down the song you strum G C G D G And rest yourself neath the strength of strings no voice can hope to hum G C G The ocean wild like an organ played Em D The seaweed's wove it's strands G C The crashin waves like cymbals clashed G D G Against the rocks and sands G C G Em D Lay down your weary tune lay down lay down the song you strum G C G D G And rest yourself neath the strength of strings no voice can hope to hum G C G The last of leaves fell from the trees Em D And clung to a new love's breast G C The branches bare like a new banjo G D G To the winds that listen the best G C G Em D Lay down your weary tune lay down lay down the song you strum G C G D G And rest yourself neath the strength of strings no voice can hope to hum
