Lay Me Down

G                   C            
Fire and brimstone fell upon my 
G   C G           G             
ears     as their throats of open 
  C
graves recited
G   C G
fear
           Em         C           
Like the bullets of a gun they 
       G   C G         D        
drove my tears    and my feet to
       C
 run the hell
        G   C G
out of here
     G             C              
See, I was born a restless wayward
  G    C G           G
 child,    I could hear the whole 
world
 C          G    C G
calling me outside
        Em           C           
Of the masses I routinely sat 
G   C G      D             C  
behind     and Lord, I had to 
             G  C G
see with my own eyes
 G   C  G       Em    G D     
Take me home, I want to go 
       D               Em         
down the road that will take me to
    C     G
 the living oak
     G    C G            
And Lord, I know that I'm a 
     Em      G   D        D     
weathered stone but I owe it to 
           G
my brothers to

load but we'll carry my brothers, oh

C           G
carry them home

    G               C             
And oh, there is no power on Earth
      G              G            
 or below that could ever break 
   C
our hearts
              G
or shake our souls
             Em                 C 
And when you lay me down you'll 
         G   C        D          
only bury bones 'cause oh, my 
      C
heart and soul
           G
are going home
