[F]
Lay [Bb] down, lay down [Eb] your weary tomb, [Bb] lay [Gm] down a song you [F] strum,
[Bb] and rest yourself [F] neath

The [Bb] last of leaves [Eb] fell from the [Bb]
trees and [Gm] clung to a [F] new love's breast.

[F] I [Bb] gazed down into [Eb] the [Bb] river's mirror and [Gm] watched its winding [Bb] [F] strum.
