The Byrds Lay Down You Weary Tune Written by Bob Dylan
G C G Em D
Lay down your weary tune lay down lay down the song you strum
G C G D G
And rest yourself neath the strength of strings no voice can hope to
hum
G C G
Struck by the sounds before the sun
Em D
I knew the night had come
G C
The morning breeze like a bugle blew
G D G
Against the drums of dawn
G C G Em D
Lay down your weary tune lay down lay down the song you strum
G C G D G
And rest yourself neath the strength of strings no voice can hope to
hum
G C G
The ocean wild like an organ played
Em D
The seaweed's wove it's strands
G C
The crashin waves like cymbals clashed
G D G
Against the rocks and sands
G C G Em D
Lay down your weary tune lay down lay down the song you strum
G C G D G
And rest yourself neath the strength of strings no voice can hope to
hum
G C G
The last of leaves fell from the trees
Em D
And clung to a new love's breast
G C
The branches bare like a new banjo
G D G
To the winds that listen the best
G C G Em D
Lay down your weary tune lay down lay down the song you strum
G C G D G
And rest yourself neath the strength of strings no voice can hope to
hum
D G C G D G C G
When I'm out of love everythings going so crazy
D G C G D G C G
It's your sweet love that brings me around you amaze me
D G C G
And when the days drag on and on
D G C G
And I feel like all the good times have gone
D G C G
And there's no one left on my side
D G C G
And no place to go nowhere to hide
A Em
I might forget sometimes when my world falls apart
A Em
You pick the pieces up and that feeling starts
A D Em G A D Em G A
It's the part I know by heart
D G
When I'm holding you
C G D G C G
Troubles are so far behind me
D G
You know what to do
C G D G C G
You'r always there to remind me
D G C G
How to keep this love alive
D G C G
While the world is like a roller coaster ride
D G C G
You're still hanging on
D G C G
The head grows weak but the heart is strong
A Em
I might forget sometimes when my world falls apart
A Em
You pick the pieces up and that feeling starts
A D Em G A D Em G A
It's the part I know by heart
Em A
Sometimes I don't know what to feel girl
Em G A
You bring me back to what is real girl
SOLO
A Em
I might forget sometimes when my world falls apart
A Em
You pick the pieces up and that feeling starts
A D Em G A D Em G A
It's the part I know by heart
Enjoy!
