[Bm]
As I stand on the [F#m] river bridge, [E] silent on this [F#m] thirsty [Bm] ridge,
no more birds will [F#m] sing for me on this desperate [E]
day.
And [A] I've [Bm] walked far to [F#m] make it here, I know my [E] path is [F#m] plain [Bm] and clear.
I will take to [A] rest a [F#m] final time on [E] that clay.
[A] [B] [F#m]
[E] [Bm]
[F#m]
[E] So [Bm] take me back to where [F#m] I want to be, when [E] you're young there's a [Bm] melody.
Winds that blow [F#m] from over in the [E] west.
And [F#m] all the [Bm] trees shake like [F#m] they bow and pray like [E] they all know us by [Bm]
name.
Will they call to me [F#m] once more before [E] I go?
[G] Ooh, [D] lay down, lay low.
[G] Ooh,
[Bm] they say it's [A] quiet there.
[G] Ooh, [D] lay down, lay low.
[G] Ooh, I [Bm] want to finally [A] fall down, fall down.
[Bm] Don't believe everything [F#m] that you hear [E] about angels [Bm] drawing near.
But I hold on [F#m] to a ghost who knows my [E] name.
[A] Mornings [Bm] take me [F#m] by surprise.
These [E] are dreaming [F#m] open [Bm] eyes.
And we make miracles [F#m] every moment of every [E] day.
[G] Ooh, lay down, [D]
lay low.
[G] Ooh, lay down, [Bm] they say it's quiet [A] there.
[G] Ooh, lay down, [D] lay low.
[G]
Ooh, lay down, I [Bm] want to finally [A] fall down, fall down.
