The Byrds Lay Down You Weary Tune written by Bob Dylan
G C G Em D
Lay down your weary tune lay down lay down the song you strum
G C G D G
And rest yourself neath the strength of strings no voice can hope to
hum
G C G
Struck by the sounds before the sun
Em D
I knew the night had come
G C
The morning breeze like a bugle blew
G D G
Against the drums of dawn
G C G Em D
Lay down your weary tune lay down lay down the song you strum
G C G D G
And rest yourself neath the strength of strings no voice can hope to
hum
G C G
The ocean wild like an organ played
Em D
The seaweed's wove it's strands
G C
The crashin waves like cymbals clashed
G D G
Against the rocks and sands
G C G Em D
Lay down your weary tune lay down lay down the song you strum
G C G D G
And rest yourself neath the strength of strings no voice can hope to
hum
G C G
The last of leaves fell from the trees
Em D
And clung to a new love's breast
G C
The branches bare like a new banjo
G D G
To the winds that listen the best
G C G Em D
Lay down your weary tune lay down lay down the song you strum
G C G D G
And rest yourself neath the strength of strings no voice can hope to
hum
