^GLay down, ^Dlay down, ^Flay it all ^Gdown..let your white birds ^Dsmile at the ^Fones who stand and ^Gfrown. ^GLay down, ^Dlay down, ^Flay it all ^Gdown..let your white birds ^Dsmile at the ^Fones who stand and ^Emfrown.

^EmWe were so ^Dclose, there was no ^Emroom, we bled in^Dside each other's ^Emwounds. ^EmWe all had ^Dcaught the same ^Emdisease..and we all ^Dsang, the songs of ^Empeace.

^GLay down, ^Dlay down, ^Flay it all ^Gdown..let your white birds ^Dsmile at the ^Fones who stand and ^Gfrown. ^GLay down, ^Dlay down, ^Flay it all ^Gdown..let your white birds ^Dsmile at the ^Fones who stand and ^Emfrown.

So, ^Draise ^Athe candles ^Emhigh, cause if you ^Gdon't, we could stay ^Dblack a^Against the ^Emnight. Oh, ^Draise ^Athem higher a^Emgain, and if you ^Gdo we could stay ^Ddry a^Against the ^Emrain.

^GLay down, ^Dlay down, ^Flay it all ^Gdown..let your white birds ^Dsmile up at the ^Fones who stand and ^Gfrown. ^GLay down, ^Dlay down, ^Flay it all ^Gdown..let your white birds ^Dsmile up at the ^Fones who stand and ^Emfrown.

^EmWe were so ^Dclose, there was no ^Emroom, we bled in^Dside each other's ^Emwounds. ^EmWe all had ^Dcaught the same ^Emdisease..and we all ^Dsang, the songs of ^Empeace. Some came to ^Dsing, some came to ^Empray..some came to ^Dkeep the dark a^Emway.

So, ^Draise ^Athe candles ^Emhigh, cause if you ^Gdon't, we could stay ^Dblack a^Against the ^Emnight. Oh, ^Draise ^Athem higher a^Emgain, and if you ^Gdo we could stay ^Ddry a^Against the ^Emrain.

^GLay down, ^Dlay down, ^Flay it all ^Gdown..let your white birds ^Dsmile up at the ^Fones who stand and ^Gfrown. ^GLay down, ^Dlay down, ^Flay it all ^Gdown..let your white birds ^Dsmile up at the ^Fones who stand and ^Emfrown.

^GLay down, ^Dlay down, ^Flay it all ^Gdown..let your white birds ^Dsmile up at the ^Fones who stand and ^Emfrown.
