I took one listen to this song and knew I had to learn how to play it. So, I did. It's
easy. Just listen to the song for proper strumming and rhythm, and enjoy! If you need
further, you can youtube it. A couple of videos have clear views of the chords. Enjoy!
Lay Me Down
~ Hanson
G
I�ll never walk away from this
I�ll pull you closely to my chest
D
With a father�s breaking heart
G
I�ll walk you one last time into the dark
G
There are no reasons to explain
A solid kill but there�s no blame
D
There are no answers though I pray
G
I die though this is not my grave
Am D
And I lay you down (lay you down)
G
I�ll carry you, child to a place where you can rest
Between tears that seep into the heavens and as I put you down to bed
D
It tears me into pieces watching you fight to fill your lungs with breath
G
There�s no need to struggle, there�s no need to struggle
Am D
And I lay you down (lay you down)
G
Don�t you cry no more
Am D G
I lay me down (lay me down)
D G
Mmm�Ohhhh
D C G
Well, I�m not ready, I�m not ready for this
D C G
Oh, I�m not ready, I�m not ready for this
G
They'll ask no branches from this soil
My broken spirit steals my voice
D
I have no secrets to my name
G
Only the shadows hide my shame
And so I lift you upon my shoulder
Inside a splintered wooden chest
D
To Avalon we line the street
G
I only hope that you�re finally at rest
D G
I�m not ready for this (I�m not ready, I'm not ready)
Am D
I lay you down (lay you down)
G
Don�t you cry no more (I�m not ready, I�m not ready)
Am D
I lay me down (lay me down)
Am D
I�d gladly lay me down (lay me down)
