Lay Down Lay Low
Lay Down Lay Low
Capo II
As I sAmtand on the river bEmridge silent Don this thirsty Amridge
No more Ambirds will sing for Emme on this desperate Dday
And I've walked Amfar to make it Emhere I know my Dpath is plain and Amclear
And I'll Amtake to rest a final Emtime on that Dclay
So take me Amback to where I wanna Embe when you're Dyoung there's a meloAmdy
Winds that Amblow from Emover in the Dwest
And all the tAmrees shake like they Embow and pray like they Dall know us by Amname
Will they Amcall to me once Emmore before I Dgo
FOooo lay Cdown lay low FOooo they say it's Amquiet tGhere
FOooo lay Cdown lay low FOooo I wanna fAminally fall dGown fall down
Don't belAmieve everything that you Emhear about Dangels drawing Amnear
But I'll Amhold on to a Emghost who knows my Dname
Mornings Amtake me by surEmprise these are dDreaming open Ameyes
And we make Ammiracles every mEmoment of every Dday
FOooo lay Cdown lay low FOooo they say it's Amquiet tGhere
FOooo lay Cdown lay low FOooo I wanna fAminally fall dGown fall down
Am - G - Em - D - Am - G - Em - D (repeat verse progression while the band jams for a bit)
As I Amstand on the river Embridge I recDall this barren Amridge
West winds Amblow for me Ema melody toDday
And I've walked Amfar to make it Emhere I know in Dtime I'll see it Amclear
Some things are Amgone for good but Eminstant in your Dmind
AmOooo GOooo EmOooo DOooo AmOooo GOooo EmOooo DOooo

The Steel Wheels

Lay Down Lay Low

Capo II

Am Em D Am

As I stand on the river bridge silent on this thirsty ridge

Am Em D

No more birds will sing for me on this desperate day

Am Em D Am

And I've walked far to make it here I know my path is plain and clear

Am Em D

And I'll take to rest a final time on that clay

Am Em D Am

So take me back to where I wanna be when you're young there's a melody

Am Em D

Winds that blow from over in the west

Am Em D Am

And all the trees shake like they bow and pray like they all know us by name

Am Em D

Will they call to me once more before I go

F C F Am G

Oooo lay down lay low Oooo they say it's quiet there

F C F Am G

Oooo lay down lay low Oooo I wanna finally fall down fall down

Am Em D Am

Don't believe everything that you hear about angels drawing near

Am Em D

But I'll hold on to a ghost who knows my name

Am Em D Am

Mornings take me by surprise these are dreaming open eyes

Am Em D

And we make miracles every moment of every day

F C F Am G

Oooo lay down lay low Oooo they say it's quiet there

F C F Am G

Oooo lay down lay low Oooo I wanna finally fall down fall down

Am - G - Em - D - Am - G - Em - D (repeat verse progression while the band jams for a bit)

Am Em D Am

As I stand on the river bridge I recall this barren ridge

Am Em D

West winds blow for me a melody today

Am Em D Am

And I've walked far to make it here I know in time I'll see it clear

Am Em D

Some things are gone for good but instant in your mind

Am G Em D Am G Em D

Oooo Oooo Oooo Oooo Oooo Oooo Oooo Oooo
