Band: The Strawbs
Recording date 1972 - 73 ish


This is an excellent electric folk/rock song recorded by the Strawbs over 25 years
ago. I'm sure that the chords are far too simplistic but it sounds reasonable. There is
as I remember an excellent lead break which unfortunately I can't reprodure. Any
updates or improvements very welcome.



F                                         F
By still waters I lay down with the lambs
              F                          G
In pastures green I made peace with my soul
      F                 F
And I cared not for the night
                            F
While my guiding star shone bright
         F            F
By still waters I lay down
      F
I lay down.


G   F     G Gsus   F
Lay down, I lay me down
G   F     G Gsus   F
Lay down, I lay me down
G   F     G Gsus   F
Lay down, I lay me down
F    G F
For my soul.


At the roadside I took toll of my times
In dirty streets I found peace for my soul
May the merciful be right
Are you ready for the night
At the roadside I lay down
I lay down.


Lay down, I lay me down
Lay down, I lay me down
Lay down, I lay me down
For my soul.


In deep sorrow I took flight with the sun
I proved stronger than the test
When my spirit came to rest
In deep sorrow I lay down
I lay down.


Lay down, I lay me down
Lay down, I lay me down
Lay down, I lay me down
For my soul.
