(G)Lay down, (D)lay down, (F)lay it all (G)down, let your white birds (D)smile up at the (F)ones who stand and (G)frown.

(G)Lay down, (D)lay down, (F)lay it all (G)down, let your white birds (D)smile up at the (F)ones who stand and (Em)frown.

We were so (D)close,

there was no (Em)room,

We bled in (D)side

each oth er’s (Em)wounds.

We all had (D)caught

the same dis (Em)ease,

and we all (D)sang

the songs of (Em)peace.

(G)Lay down, (D)lay down, (F)lay it all (G)down, let your white birds (D)smile up at the (F)ones who stand (G)and frown.

(G)Lay down, (D)lay down, (F)lay it all (G)down, let your white birds (D)smile up at the (F)ones who stand and (Em)frown.

So (D)raise

the can dles (Em)high,

’cause if you (G)don’t, we could stay (D)black a (A)gainst the (Em)night.

So

(D)raise them (A)high er a (Em)gain,

and if you (G)do we could stay (D)dry a (A)gainst the (Em)rain.

(Em)peace.

Some came to (D)sing,

some came to (Em)pray.

Some came to (D)keep

the dark a (Em)way.

So (D)raise

the can dles (Em)high,

’cause if you (G)don’t, we could stay (D)black a (A)gainst the (Em)night.

So

(D)raise them (A)high er a (Em)gain,

and if you (G)do we could stay (D)dry a (A)gainst the (Em)rain.
