Lay Down Your Weary Tune Chords by Mary Black

_ _ Lay down your _ weary chum, lay down, lay down the songs you strum
And rest yourself, meet the strength of strings, no voice can hold them
_ Struck [D] by the [G] sounds [D] before the sun, _ I [Bm] knew the [A] night had gone
[Bm] And the [D] morning breeze like a [G] bugle blew, _ against [Bm] the [A] _ [D] drums of dawn
Lay down your _ [G] weary chum, [D] lay down, lay [F#m] down [Bm] the songs [A] you strum
[Em] And rest [D] yourself, meet the strength [G] of strings, no [Bm] voice can _ [A] [D] hold them _ _
[G] _ _ [D] _ _ The ocean wind [G] like an [D] organ played, _ the [Bm] seaweed [A] wove its strands
The [D] crashing waves like [G] cymbals clashed, _ [Bm] against the [A] _ [D] rocks and sands
I gazed out wild [G] beneath [D] the _ skies, and [Bm] clouds [A] unbound by law _
[D] Crying rain like a trumpet [G] sang, _ and asked for [A] no _ [D] applause
Lay down your _ [G] weary [D] chum, lay down, lay down [Bm] the songs [A] you strum
And rest [D] yourself, meet the strength [G] of strings, no [Bm] voice can _ [D] hold them _ _

_ [Bm] _ _ [A] _ _ [D] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ The last of the leaves fall from the trees, and [Bm] cling to a [A] new love's breast
The [D] branches bear like a banjo [G] played, to the wind [Bm] that [A] _ _ [D] passing blest
I gazed down in [D] the river's mirror, and [F#m] watched [Bm] its winding [A] _ [E] stream
The [D] water smooth run [G] like a hymn, _ and [Bm] like a [A] _ [D] harp did hum
Lay down your _ [G] weary chum, lay down, lay down the songs you strum
And rest yourself, meet the strength of strings, no voice can [D] hold them
Lay down your _ weary [G] [D] chum, lay down, lay down [Bm] the [A] songs you strum
And [D] rest yourself, meet the strength [G] of strings, _ [A] no voice [Bm] can _ [A] [D] hold them
No voice can _ _ hold them _
