I took one listen to this song and knew I had to learn how to play it. So, I did. It's easy. Just listen to the song for proper strumming and rhythm, and enjoy! If you need further, you can youtube it. A couple of videos have clear views of the chords. Enjoy! Lay Me Down ~ Hanson

I'll never ^Gwalk away from this I'll pull you closely to my chest With a ^Dfather's breaking heart I'll walk you ^Gone last time into the dark

There are no ^Greasons to explain A solid kill but there's no blame There are no ^Danswers though I pray I die though ^Gthis is not my grave And I ^Amlay you ^Ddown (lay you down)

^GI'll carry you, child to a place where you can rest Between tears that seep into the heavens and as I put you down to bed It tea^Drs me into pieces watching you fight to fill your lungs with breath ^GThere's no need to struggle, there's no need to struggle

And I ^Amlay you down (^Dlay you down) Don't^G you cry no more I l^Amay me down ^D(lay me ^Gdown)

^DMmm^GOhhhh ^DWell, I'm ^Cnot ready, ^GI'm not ready for this ^DOh, I'm ^Cnot ready^G, I'm not ready for this

They'll a^Gsk no branches from this soil My broken spirit steals my voice I ha^Dve no secrets to my name Onl^Gy the shadows hide my shame

And so I lift you upon my shoulder Inside a splintered wooden chest

To Ava^Dlon we line the street I only ^Ghope that you're finally at rest

^DI'm not^G ready for this (I'm not ready, I'm not ready) I l^Amay you^D down (lay you down) Don't^G you cry no more (I'm not ready, I'm not ready) I l^Amay me down ^D(lay me down) I'd g^Amladly lay me^D down (lay me down)
