[Verse 1]
E A2
Well I suppose you could lay me down to die in Illinois
C#m Bsus A2
Bury me beneath the rows of corn
E A2
Or in between the maple trees I climbed on as a boy
C#m Bsus A2
Or in the land of Lincoln I was born
G C2
Oh and I recall we rode the combines in the fall
F C/E A
And there comes a time for gathering the harvest after all
[Chorus]
E A2 C#m
When you lay me down to die I'll miss my boys I'll miss my girls
Bsus A2
Lay me down and let me say goodbye to this world
E A2 C#m
You can lay me anywhere oh but just remember this
Bsus A2 Esus
When you lay me down to die You'll lay me down to live
[Instrumental]
|Esus |A2 |C#m B7sus |A2 |
[Verse 2]
E A2
Well I asked a girl to marry me on a dock out on a lake
C#m Bsus A2
Her babies came to life in Tennessee
E A2
And the music of the mountains is still keeping me awake
C#m Bsus A2
Yeah but everything that rises falls asleep
G C2
We are not alone we are more than flesh and bone
F C/E A
What is seen will pass away what is not is goin' home
[Chorus]
E A2 C#m
When you lay me down to die I'll miss my boys I'll miss my girls
Bsus A2
Lay me down and let me say goodbye to this world
E A2 C#m
You can lay me anywhere oh but just remember this
Bsus
When you lay me down to die...
[Bridge]
C#m A2
I'll open up my eyes onto skies I've never known
E B2/D#
And the place where I belong and I realize
