[G] Lay down, [D] lay it 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 it down, [F] lay it all [G] down,
Let your white birds [D] smile up at the [F] ones who stand and [Em] frown.
{c: }
We were so [D] close, there was no [Em] room,
We bled in[D]side each [Em] others wounds.
We all had [D] caught the [Em] same disease,
And we all [D] sang the [Em] songs of [D] peace.
{c: }
[G] Lay down, [D] lay it 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 it down, [F] lay it all [G] down,
Let your white birds [D] smile up at the [F] ones who stand and [Em] frown.
{c: }
So [D] raise the [A] candles [Em] high,
'cause if you [G] don't, we could stay [D] black a[Am]gainst the [Em] night.
Oh, [D] raise them [A] higher a[Em]gain,
And if you [G] do, we could stay [D] dry a[Am]gainst the [Em] rain.
{c: }
[G] Lay down, [D] lay it down, [F] lay it all [G] down,
Let your white birds [D] smile up at the [F] ones who stand and [G] frown.

We all had [D] caught the [Em] same disease,
and we all [D] sang the [Em] songs of peace.
{c: }
Some [D] came to sing, some [D] came to pray,
Some [D] came to keep the [Em] dark away.
{c: }
So [D] raise the [A] candles [Em] high,
'cause if you [G] don't, we could stay [D] black a[Am]gainst the [Em] night.
