[D] [F#m] Lay [A] down your weary [D] tomb, [A] lay down, lay [G#m] down [F#m] the song [E] you strum,
[D] And [G] rest [A] yourself [D] near the strength of strings, [E] [A] no voice can hold to them.
[F#m] Struck [E] by [A] the sounds [D] before the [A] sun, I [C#m] knew [F#m] the night [E] had gone,

breeze like [D] a bugle blew, [E]
[A] against the [E] drums [F#m] of dawn.

[D] And [A] rest yourself near [D] the strength of strings, [A] no voice can hold [E]
[F#m] to them.
The ocean wild [A] like [D] an [E] organ [A] played, the [G#] [F#] seaweed's woven [E]
strands,
The [D] [G#] crashing [A]
[D] waves like cymbals clashed,
[A] against the [E] rocks [F#m] and sand.

[C] [F#m] And [G#] rest [A] yourself near [D] the strength of strings, [A] no voice can [E] hold to [F#m] them.
The last of leaves fell [D] from [A] the trees, and [E] clung [F#] to a new [E] love's breast,
The [D] [G#] branches [A] bare [D] like a banjo mourned, [G] to [A] the winds that listen to [D] them.
Lay [F#m] down your [A] weary [D] [E] tomb, [A] lay down, lay [G#m] down [F#m] the [E] song you strum,
[D] And [G#] rest [A] yourself near [D] the strength of strings, [A] no voice can hold [E]
[A] to them.
