I've raised my [D] head and set [A] myself in [D]
the [F#m] eye of a [Bm] storm in the belly of [A] a whale
My [E] spirit stood [F#m] on solid [D] ground
I'll [A] be [E] at [D] peace when they lay me [A] down
When I was [D] a child [A] I cried
Until [D]
[A] my knees [Bm] were [A] satisfied
My [E] knees have grown [F#] a pound [D] for a pound
[A] I'll be [E] at peace [D] when they lay me [A] down
When [D] they lay me down someday [A] my soul will rise and fly away
[E] This [F#m] old world will turn [D] around

I'll be [E] at peace [D] when they lay [A] me down
This life isn't [D] [A] fair it seems
[D] It's filled with tears and broken [A] dreams
There [E] are no tears [F#m] where I [D] am bound
