Lay Down Your Weary Tune chords
The Byrds (Bob Dylan) *
G C G
Lay down your weary tune, lay down
Em D
Lay down the song you strum
G C
And rest yourself beneath the strength of strings
G D G
No voice can hope to hum
G C G
Struck by the sounds before the sun
Em D
I knew the night had gone
G C
The morning breeze like a bugle blew
G D G
Against the drums of dawn
G C G
Lay down your weary tune, lay down
Em D
Lay down the song you strum
G C
And rest yourself beneath the strength of strings
G D G
No voice can hope to hum
G C G
The ocean wild like an organ played
Em D
The seaweed wove it s strands
G C
The crashin waves like cymbals clashed
G D G
Against the rocks and sands
G C G
Lay down your weary tune, lay down
Em D
Lay down the song you strum
G C
And rest yourself beneath the strength of strings
G D G
No voice can hope to hum
G C G
The last of leaves fell from the trees
Em D
And clung to a new loves breast
G C
The branches bare like a banjo played
G D G
To the winds that listened best
G C G
Lay down your weary tune, lay down
Em D
Lay down the song you strum
G C
And rest yourself beneath the strength of strings
G D G
No voice can hope to hum
