Lay Me Down

G                   C            G   C G           G               C
Fire and brimstone fell upon my ears     as their throats of open graves recited
G   C G
fear
           Em         C                  G   C G         D               C
Like the bullets of a gun they drove my tears    and my feet to run the hell
        G   C G
out of here
     G             C                G    C G           G
See, I was born a restless wayward child,    I could hear the whole world
 C          G    C G
calling me outside
        Em           C           G   C G      D             C               G  C G
Of the masses I routinely sat behind     and Lord, I had to see with my own eyes
 G   C  G       Em    G D            D               Em             C     G
Take me home, I want to go down the road that will take me to the living oak
     G    C G                 Em      G   D        D                G
And Lord, I know that I'm a weathered stone but I owe it to my brothers to
C           G
carry them home

carry them home

And oh, there is no power on Earth or below that could ever break our hearts
              G
or shake our souls
             Em                 C          G   C        D                C
And when you lay me down you'll only bury bones 'cause oh, my heart and soul
           G
are going home
