Lay Down Lay Low Chords

(ver. 1)
The Steel Wheels
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 - Em - D - Am - Am - Em - D - 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
