Caroline Herring - Lay my burden down

When I ^Dlay my burden ^Gdown I'll hear no ^Cmourners outside my ^Gwindow Put my ^Dbody in the ^Gground Because my ^Cspirit will be ^Gfree at ^Dlast

N.C.

And I'll be ^Gflying in the ^B7darkness I'll ride the ^Cwind without a ^Gsound__^D_ When I ^Glay my ^Dburden ^Gdown ^{C G D G}

When I ^Dsee that great green ^Gvalley The haunting ^Cshadows will fade be^Ghind me A golden ^Dhighway stretched out be^Gfore me And I will ^Cwalk into the ^Gsun^Drise

N.C.

With the ^Glion and the ^B7lamb And the ^Cbeasts of the ^Gfield__^D_ When your ^Gsecret ^Dis re^Gvealed ^{C G D G}

When I ^Dlay my burden ^Gdown Could be to^Cmorrow, god has not ^Gtold me And ^Dnow I will ^Glove With all the ^Cheart, soul and strength ^Gwithin ^Dme

N.C.

As a ^Gmother and a ^B7lover And a ^Csister and a ^Gdaughter And then one day, over ^B7Jordan I'll see ^Cangels, hear trumpets ^Gsound__^D_ When I ^Glay my ^Dburden ^Gdown__^C_ When I ^Glay my ^Dburden ^Gdown ^{D G}
