Lay Me Down
    CAPO 5
 
[Verse 1]
 
          C                         G/B
With this heart open wide  from the depths from the heights
       Em7     D/F#  G
I will bring a sacrifice
           C                          G/B
With these hands lifted high  hear my song, hear my cry
       Em7     D/F#  G            Em7     D/F#   C  G
I will bring a sacrifice   I will bring a sacrifice
 
 
[Chorus]
 
  C        G/B             D/F#
  I lay me down I’m not my own
      Em7          C
  I belong to you alone 
         G/B          D/F#
  Lay me down  Lay me down
   C         G/B                D/F#
  Hand on my heart this much is true
             Em7             C
  There’s no life apart from you
         G/B          D/F#
  Lay me down  Lay me down
  C      G/B          D/F#
  Lay me down  Lay me down
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
        C                     G/B
Letting go of my pride  giving up all my rights
          Em7      D/F#    G                Em7     bD/F#     C  G
Take this life and let it shine   Take this life and let it shine
 
 
[Bridge]
 
               G/B
 It will be my joy to say Your will Your way
              Em
It will be my joy to say Your will Your way
              D      C                   G
It will be my joy to say Your will Your way always

The C at the beginning of the verses is an Em and he plays it Capo 2, so in the key of A. Otherwise perfect. Source: SongSelect Professional Worship Music

what key is this in?

I am confident that capo on 2 is correct for the studio recording. I am trying to find the mandolin-sounding part thats in the intro and the breaks.
