D   D/C  D/B  G     C         G
Lay down your weary tune, lay down

             Em       D         Dsus4 D
Lay down the song you strum

D   D/C  D/B G               C           G
And rest yourself 'neath the strength of strings

             D       G           D
No voice can hope to hum


Struck by the sounds before the sun
I knew the new night had gone
The morning breeze like a bugle blew
Against the drums of dawn

chorus

The ocean wild like an organ played
The seaweed wove it's strands
The crashing waves, like cymbals clashed
Against the rocks and the sands

chorus

I stood unwound beneath the skies
And clouds unbound by laws
The cryin' rain like a trumpet sang
And asked for no applause

chorus

The last of leaves fell from the trees
And clung to a new love's breast
The branches bare like a banjo moaned
To the winds that listened the best

I gazed down in the river's mirror
And watched it's winding strum
The water smooth ran like a hymn
And like a harp, did hum

chorus
