Lay Down Strawbs
Recording date 1972 - 73 ish
This is an excellent electric folk/rock song recorded by the Strawbs over 25 years
ago. I'm sure that the chords are far too simplistic but it sounds reasonable. There is
as I remember an excellent lead break which unfortunately I can't reprodure. Any
updates or improvements very welcome.
[G]By still waters I lay down with the lambs[C]
In pastures gr[G]een I made peace with my so[D]ul
And I [C]cared not for the [G]night
While my guiding star shone [C]bright
By still [G]waters I lay [C]down
I lay [G]down.
[D]Lay [G]down, [D]I [Dsus]lay me [C]down
[D]Lay [G]down, [D]I [Dsus]lay me [C]down
[D]Lay [G]down, [D]I [Dsus]lay me [C]down
[C]For m[D]y [G]soul.
At the roadside I took toll of my times
In dirty streets I found peace for my soul
May the merciful be right
Are you ready for the night
At the roadside I lay down
I lay down.
Lay down, I lay me down
Lay down, I lay me down
Lay down, I lay me down
For my soul.
In deep sorrow I took flight with the sun
I proved stronger than the test
When my spirit came to rest
In deep sorrow I lay down
I lay down.
Lay down, I lay me down
Lay down, I lay me down
Lay down, I lay me down
For my soul.
