D Am C G D
Can you hear the sound of the fiddle and the drum passing then fade?
D Am C G D
Can you hear the sounds of chanting in the streets screaming for better days?
D Am C G D
You've heard it all, yes we've all heard it all so tell me what has changed?
D Am C G D
You’ve seen it all, yes we've all seen it all so tell me what has changed?
[Chorus]
Em D C Em D C
And the palace stays the same; Only the guards ever change
G D G D Am G C G
So lay me down, oh lay me down; Oh lay me down, lay me down
G D G D Am G C G
Oh lay me down, oh lay me down; Oh lay me down, lay me down
[Verse 2]
D Am C G D
You've heard the singer sing proud their songs telling us what is wrong
D Am C G D
You've read the books that say where to look; Well, where's the answer gone?
D Am C G D
You've seen it all, Yes, we've all seen it all but tell me what has changed?
D Am C G D
You've seen it all, We've all seen it all so tell me what has changed?
[Chorus]
Em D C Em D C
And the palace stays the same; Only the guards ever change
G D G D Am G C G
So lay me down, oh lay me down; Oh lay me down, lay me down
G D G D Am G C G
Oh lay me down, oh lay me down; Oh lay me down, lay me down
