	        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 

         D      G    C           G        D   G C G 
When I'm out of love everythings going so crazy 
     D          G         C         G          D     G C G 
It's your sweet love that brings me around you amaze me 
             D         G       C   G 
And when the days drag on and on 
      D         G       C               G 
And I feel like all the good times have gone 
            D           G     C  G 
And there's no one left on my side 
    D           G   C          G 
And no place to go  nowhere to hide 
A                             Em 
I might forget sometimes when my world falls apart 
A                                Em 

You pick the pieces  up and that feeling starts 
         A              D  Em G A   D Em G A 
It's the part I know by heart 
         D       G 
When I'm holding you 
C            G             D G C G 
Troubles are so far behind me 
         D       G 
You know what to do 
C            G           D   G  C G 
You'r always there to remind me 
       D         G    C   G 
How to keep this love alive 
          D         G      C             G 
While the world is like a roller coaster ride 
D            G       C   G 
You're still hanging on 
    D          G            C        G 
The head grows weak but the heart is strong 
A                             Em 
I might forget sometimes when my world falls apart 
A                                Em 

You pick the pieces  up and that feeling starts 
         A              D  Em G A   D Em G A 
It's the part I know by heart 
Em                             A 
Sometimes I don't know what to feel girl 
Em                           G     A 
You bring me back to what is real girl 

SOLO 

A                             Em 
I might forget sometimes when my world falls apart 
A                                Em 

You pick the pieces  up and that feeling starts 
         A              D  Em G A   D Em G A 
It's the part I know by heart 

Enjoy!
