WWW.AZCHORDS.COM | Bob Dylan - Lay Down Your Weary Tune Chords | Ver. 2
[Chorus]
D C G C G
Lay down your weary tune, lay down,
Em D
Lay down the song you strum,
C G D G C
And rest yourself 'neath the strength of strings
G D G D
No voice can hope to hum.
[Verse 1]
D C G C G
Struck by the sounds before the sun,
Em D
I knew the night had gone.
C G D G C
The morning breeze like a bugle blew
G D G D
Against the drums of dawn.
[Chorus]
D C G C G
Lay down your weary tune, lay down,
Em D
Lay down the song you strum,
C G D G C
And rest yourself 'neath the strength of strings
G D G D
No voice can hope to hum.
[Verse 2]
D C G C G
The ocean wild like an organ played
Em D
The seaweed's wove its strands
C G D G C
The crashin' waves like cymbals clashed
G D G D
Against the rocks and sands
[Chorus]
D C G C G
Lay down your weary tune, lay down,
Em D
Lay down the song you strum,
C G D G C
And rest yourself 'neath the strength of strings
G D G D
No voice can hope to hum.
[Verse 3]
D C G C G
I stood unwound beneath the skies
Em D
And clouds unbound by laws
C G D G C
The cryin' rain like a trumpet sang
G D G D
And asked for no applause
[Chorus]
D C G C G
Lay down your weary tune, lay down,
Em D
Lay down the song you strum,
C G D G C
And rest yourself 'neath the strength of strings
G D G D
No voice can hope to hum.
[Verse 4]
D C G C G
The last of leaves fell from the trees
Em D
And clung to a new love's breast
C G D G C
The branches bare like a banjo played
G D G D
To the winds that listened best
[Verse 5]
D C G C G
I gazed down in the river's mirror
Em D
And watched its winding strum
C G D G C
The water smooth ran like a hymn
G D G D
And like a harp did hum
[Chorus]
D C G C G
Lay down your weary tune, lay down,
Em D
Lay down the song you strum,
C G D G C
And rest yourself 'neath the strength of strings
G D G D
No voice can hope to hum.
