  Subject: Lay Down by The Strawbs

  

  Title: Lay Down  (Cousins) 

  Band: The 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			                  C

  By still waters I lay down with the lambs

  	      G			         D

  In pastures green I made peace with my soul

        C                 G

  And I cared not for the night

                              C

  While my guiding star shone bright

           G            C

  By still waters I lay down

        G

  I lay down.

  

  

  D   G     D Dsus   C

  Lay down, I lay me down

  D   G     D Dsus   C

  Lay down, I lay me down

  D   G     D Dsus   C

  Lay down, I lay me down

  C    D G

  For my 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

  >From mountains high I gained strength for my soul

  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.
