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. David Woollard-Kingston dwk@usa.net 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 Dsus4 C Lay down, I lay me down D G D Dsus4 C Lay down, I lay me down D G D Dsus4 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.
