Lay Down Melanie

G D F G

Lay down, lay down, lay it all down

G D F G

Let your white birds smile up at the ones who stand and frown

G D F G

Lay down, lay down, lay it all down

G D F Em

Let your white birds smile up at the ones who stand and frown

D Em

We were so close there was no room

D Em

We bled inside each others wounds

D Em

We all had caught the same disease

D Em D D7

We all sang the songs of peace

Chorus

D A Em

So raise your candles high

G D A Em

‘Cause if you don't we could stay black against the night

D A Em

Oh raise them higher again

G D A Em D D7

Then if you do we could stay dry against the rain

Chorus

D Em

We were so close there was no room

D Em

We bled inside each others wounds

D Em

We all had caught the same disease

D Em

We all sang the songs of peace

D Em

Some came to sing some came to pray

D Em

Some came to keep the dark away

D A Em

So raise (raise!) your candles high (up high!)

G D A Em

‘Cause if you don't we could stay black against the sky

D A Em

Oh raise (raise!) them higher again (up high!)

G D A Em D D7

Then if you do we could stay dry against the rain

Chorus (repeat)
