Mary Black - Lay down your weary tune

N.C.

Lay down your weary tune, lay down

N.C.

Lay down the song you strum

N.C.

And rest yourself beneath the strength of strings

N.C.

No voice can hope to hum

Struck by the ^Dsounds be^Gfore the ^Dsun I knew the ^Bmnight had ^Agone The ^Dmorning breeze like a bugle ^Gblew Against the ^Ddru^Ams of ^Ddawn

Lay down your weary ^Gtune, lay ^Ddown Lay down the ^Bmsong you ^Astrum And rest your^Dself beneath the strength of ^Gstrings No voice can ^Dho^Ape to ^Dhum ^{G D}

The ocean wild, like an ^Gorgan ^Dplayed The seaweed ^Bmwove it's ^Astrands The crashing ^Dwaves like cymbals ^Gclashed Against the ^Droc^Aks and ^Dsands

I stood unwound be^Gneath the ^Dskies And clouds un^Bmbound by ^Alaws The crying ^Drain like a trumpet ^Gsang And asked for ^Dno^A__ ap^Dplause

Lay down your weary ^Gtune, lay ^Ddown Lay down the ^Bmsong you ^Astrum And rest your^Dself beneath the strength of ^Gstrings No voice can ^Dho^Ape to ^Dhum

The last of leaves fell ^Gfrom the ^Dtrees And clung to a ^Bmnew love's ^Abreast The branches ^Dbare like a banjo ^Gplayed To the winds that ^Dlis^Atened ^Dbest

I gazed down in the ^Griver's ^Dmirror And watched its ^Bmwinding ^Astream The water ^Dsmooth ran like a ^Gtune And like a ^Dha^Arp did ^Dhum

N.C.

Lay down your weary tune, lay down

N.C.

Lay down the song you strum

N.C.

And rest yourself beneath the strength of strings

N.C.

No voice can hope to hum

^DLay down your weary ^Gtune, lay ^Ddown Lay down the ^Bmsong you ^Astrum And rest your^Dself beneath the strength of ^Gstrings No voice can ^Dho^Ape to ^Dhum

N.C.

No voice can hope to hum
