Lay Me Down

Am  G  F  C  F  C  G
Am  G  F  C  F  C  G


[Verse 1]
       Am       C              F    C
I am a midnight writer, I am a soul survivor
      Am        C         G
I am chemicals colliding,
       Am     C           F     C
I am a dirty misfit, I am holy bullshit,
       Am      C      G
I am still in transit


[Chorus]
F   C  G            C            F
Lay me down, let me weep, let me weep,
F   C  G            C     F
Lay me down, sweet sleep
F   C  G            C            F
Lay me down, let me weep, let me weep,
F   C  G            C
Lay me down, sweet sleep


[Guitar Solo]


[Verse 2]
       Am       C                   F       C
I am a deep red bloodstain, I am a graffiti ghost train
      Am     C         G
I am tiring refrain,
       Am         C            F        C
I am a cracked up mirror, I am no-where near here,
        Am        C          G
I am an old man's war tears


[Chorus]
F   C  G            C            F
Lay me down, let me weep, let me weep,
F   C  G            C     F
Lay me down, sweet sleep
F   C  G            C            F
Lay me down, let me weep, let me weep,
F   C  G            C
Lay me down, sweet sleep


[Mandolin Solo]


[Verse 3]
       Am       C              F          C
I am a red kite flying, I am a dead woman rising
      Am          C         G
I am smoke on the horizon,
       Am         C        F                   C
I am a budding fruit tree, you are my skeleton key,
        Am       C     G
I am a thriving city


[Chorus]
F   C  G            C            F
Lay me down, let me weep, let me weep,
F   C  G            C     F
Lay me down, sweet sleep
F   C  G            C            F
Lay me down, let me weep, let me weep,
F   C  G            C
Lay me down, sweet sleep


[Bridge]
F                 C  G  F
Old Casey told me so,
   F                     C          G  F
It don't matter how many rounds you go,
F                C          G
We all share the same, same soul


[Chorus]
N.C.
Lay me down, let me weep, let me weep,
N.C.
Lay me down, sweet sleep
N.C.
Lay me down, let me weep, let me weep,
N.C.
Lay me down, sweet sleep

[Outro]
