Lay Down Your Weary Tune chords
The Byrds (Bob Dylan) *

G                   C         GLay down your weary tune, lay down
             Em       DLay down the song you strum
             G                            CAnd rest yourself beneath the strength of strings
             G    D  GNo voice can hope to hum

G                      C        GStruck by the sounds before the sun
           Em        DI knew the night had gone
            G                   CThe morning breeze like a bugle blew
            G     D  GAgainst the drums of dawn

G                   C         GLay down your weary tune, lay down
             Em       DLay down the song you strum
             G                            CAnd rest yourself beneath the strength of strings
             G    D  GNo voice can hope to hum

G              C             GThe ocean wild like an organ played
            Em        DThe seaweed wove it s strands
            G                  CThe crashin waves like cymbals clashed
            G     D   GAgainst the rocks and sands

G                   C         GLay down your weary tune, lay down
             Em       DLay down the song you strum
             G                            CAnd rest yourself beneath the strength of strings
             G    D  GNo voice can hope to hum

G                  C             GThe last of leaves fell from the trees
               Em        DAnd clung to a new loves breast
             G                 CThe branches bare like a banjo played
                  G      D GTo the winds that listened best

G                   C         GLay down your weary tune, lay down
             Em       DLay down the song you strum
             G                            CAnd rest yourself beneath the strength of strings
             G    D  GNo voice can hope to hum
