        Chorus 

E 
Lord lay me down 

E 
In the evening 

A 
Lowered in the ground 

E 
When I'm cold 

E 
Lord lay me down 

E 
And when I'm leaving 

B7               A 
Carry on my very soul 


        verse 1 

E 
Scripture say that in the last days the light of rain comes 

E 
I try to see it now, I climb the ladder rung 

A 
We need that old dream, youngin's gotta prophecize 

E 
People need a glimpse of hope if only through the prophet's eyes 

E 
Heaven knows that people perish when their vision dies 

E 
Fear will kill you man and unbelief will paralyze 

A 
But we prepared to die that ain't but a journey home 

B7 
But while we still survive, lordy let your will be known 

E 
This man before us was a friend and a leader 

E 
A compassionate father and a sturdy believer 

A 
Seems the tender age of fifty just too early to leave us 

B7 
We ain't questionin' your will but God please show us your reasons 


        Chorus 

E 
Lord lay me down 

E 
In the evening 

A 
Lowered in the ground 

E 
When I'm cold 

E 
Lord lay me down 

E 
And when I'm leaving 

B7               A 
Carry on my very soul 


        verse 2- BIG JOE 

E 
Amazing grace, how sweet the sound 

E 
I hope I find some when my time comes around 

A 
They laid my mama in the ground the morning I was born and now  

E 
You're singing that it's evening but the sun ain't gone down 

E 
And even now the shadow of this crown  

E 
Remind me how without the king I wouldn't be around 

A 
And something in the sound of this song as we lay me down sounds like 

B7 
Something, but that's so long ago now 

E 
And now I'll guard this bar, fight hard for the patrons 

E 
Your king is gone but I carry on the administration 

A 
Know this: if you need a hand look to these fists 

B7 
Forever and a day they stay clenched, long live the king! 

         
        Chorus 

E 
Lord lay me down 

E 
In the evening 

A 
Lowered in the ground 

E 
When I'm cold 

E 
Lord lay me down 

E 
And when I'm leaving 

B7               A 
Carry on my very soul 

E 
Lord lay me down 

E 
In the evening 

A 
Lowered in the ground 

E 
When I'm cold 

E 
Lord lay me down 

E 
And when I'm leaving 

B7               A 
Carry on my very soul
