Lay down your weary tune

	  		 (sounding key A major) 
 
The strumming is very square, and only with downstrokes.

Lay down your weary tune, lay down, 
             Em       D 
Lay down the song you strum, 
    /C   /B A G   D/A        G           C 
And rest yourself 'neath the strength of strings 
             G  D /C B G  . D      
No voice can hope to   hum.

Struck by the sounds before the sun, 
I knew the night had gone. 
The morning breeze like a bugle blew 
Against the drums of dawn. 
Lay down your weary tune, lay down, 
Lay down the song you strum, 
And rest yourself 'neath the strength of strings 
No voice can hope to hum.
