[Verse 1]
D                      G             A
  In spite of you, you like yourself
                        D
And that's alright with me
                    G
It gets so lonesome fillin' space
    A               D
And someone must believe

[Verse 2]
D                 G
Erase them golden memories
    A               D
And blow the candle out
                  G
Let's get on off away somewhere
    A               D
And see what we're about

[Chorus]
D             G    (D)    A
Lay down your weary tune again
    D         A       Bm
And rest your head on me
     Em                     G
Your phone call says you're sorry
             A                 D
And the grapevine says you're free

[Verse 3]
     D                 G               A
Your drugstore daddy's flesh and blood
                D
Like Marilyn Monroe
D                    G
And out there on the runway now
    A                 D
The king's all set to go

[Verse 4]
D                    G
They'll cover up the window soon
       A                  D
'Cause   he'll be rollin' in
                    G
He's Elvis Presley, honey child
    A               D
And I can't cop his grin

[Chorus]
D             G    (D)    A
Lay down your weary tune again
    D         A       Bm
And rest your head on me
     Em                     G
Your phone call says you're sorry
             A                 D
And the grapevine says you're free

[Verse 5]
    D           G          A
The missionary paid my way
                  D
And put me off to sleep
                G
I woke up early yesterday
    A                D
And found a place to eat

[Verse 6]
D                 G
I got it down and felt relieved
    A                D
And Jane went off to work
                      G
It's wooden soldier's Christmas time
    A               D
And Jane she is a clerk

[Chorus]
D             G    (D)    A
Lay down your weary tune again
    D         A       Bm
And rest your head on me
     Em                     G
Your phone call says you're sorry
             A                 D
And the grapevine says you're free

[Verse 7]
D                    G             A
In spite of you, you like yourself
                 D
And I admire you much
                  G
I'm out to get us back in sync
                  A           D
'Cause we've been so out of touch

[Verse 8]
     D               G
Just meet me next to Noah's Ark
    A                D
And let's get out of town
        D             G
There's got to be someplace, somewhere
      A                   D
These rain clouds haven't found

[Chorus]
D             G    (D)    A
Lay down your weary tune again
    D         A       Bm
And rest your head on me
     Em                     G
Your phone call says you're sorry
             A                 D
And the grapevine says you're free

[Chorus]
D             G    (D)    A
Lay down your weary tune again
    D         A       Bm
And rest your head on me
      Em         G
Phone call       Sorry
     A           D*
Grapevine        Free
