Lay Me Down Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]Fire and brimstone [C]fell upon my [G]ears
As their throats of open
[C]graves recited [G]fear
Like the [Em]bullets of a [C]gun
they drove my [G]tears[C]
And [D]my feet to run the [C]hell out of here
[G]

[Verse 2]
See, I was born a [C]restless, wayward [G]child
I could here the whole world
[C]calling me out[G]side
Of the [Em]masses [G]I[C]
routinely sat be[G]hind[C]
And [D]Lord, I had to [C]see with my own [G]eyes

[Verse 3]
[G]Take me home
I want to [D]go
Down the road that will [G]take me
To the [C]living [G]oak
And [Em]Lord, I [G]know
That I'm [Em]a weathered sto[D]ne
But I owe it to my [G]brothers to [C]carry

[Interlude 1]
them home
[G][C][G][D][C][G]

[Verse 4]
[G]Take me home
I want to [D]go
Down the road that will [G]take me
To the [C]living [G]oak
[Em]And Lord, I [G]know
That I'm [Em]a weathered [D]stone
But I owe it to my [G]brothers
to [C]carry them [G]home

[Verse 5]
[G]Take me home
I want to [D]go
Down the road that [G]will take me
To the [C]living [G]oak
[Em]And Lord, [G]I know
It's a [Em]heavy [D]load
But we'll carry our [G]brothers
And we'll [C]carry them [G]home
[D]

[Verse 6]
And [G]oh, there is no [C]power on Earth,
or below
[G]That could ever break our hearts
[C]Or shake our sou[G]ls
And when you [Em]Lay Me Down you'll
only [C]bury [D]bon[G]es[C]
'Cause [D]oh, my heart and [C]soul are going home
