Lay Down Your Weary Tune by Mary Black




      Lay Down Your Weary Tune 





Tuning: E A D G B E

[Chorus]
N.C.
Lay down your weary tune, lay down
N.C.
Lay down the song you strum
N.C.
And rest yourself beneath the strength of strings
N.C.
No voice can hope to hum
 
[Verse]
              D        G        D
Struck by the sounds before the sun
           Bm        A
I knew the night had gone
    D                           G
The morning breeze like a bugle blew
            D  A     D
Against the drums of dawn
 
[Chorus]
                    G         D
Lay down your weary tune, lay down
             Bm       A
Lay down the song you strum
             D                            G
And rest yourself beneath the strength of strings
             D A     D    G  D
No voice can hope to hum
 
[Verse]
                        G     D
The ocean wild, like an organ played
            Bm        A
The seaweed wove it''''s strands
             D                  G
The crashing waves like cymbals clashed
            D  A      D
Against the rocks and sands
 
[Verse]
                  G         D
I stood unwound beneath the skies
             Bm       A
And clouds unbound by laws
           D                   G
The crying rain like a trumpet sang
              D A    D
And asked for no__ applause
 
[Chorus]
                    G         D
Lay down your weary tune, lay down
             Bm       A
Lay down the song you strum
             D                            G
And rest yourself beneath the strength of strings
             D A     D
No voice can hope to hum
 
[Instrumental]
G  D  Bm  A  D  G  D  A  D
 
[Verse]
                        G        D
The last of leaves fell from the trees
               Bm         A
And clung to a new love''''s breast
             D                 G
The branches bare like a banjo played
                  D  A     D
To the winds that listened best
 
[Verse 5]
                    G       D
I gazed down in the river''''s mirror
                Bm      A
And watched its winding stream
          D                 G
The water smooth ran like a tune
           D A      D
And like a harp did hum
 
[Chorus]
N.C.
Lay down your weary tune, lay down
N.C.
Lay down the song you strum
N.C.
And rest yourself beneath the strength of strings
N.C.
No voice can hope to hum
 
[Chorus]
D                   G         D
Lay down your weary tune, lay down
             Bm       A
Lay down the song you strum
             D                            G
And rest yourself beneath the strength of strings
             D A     D
No voice can hope to hum
N.C.
No voice can hope to hum
