I have no idea what the other version of this tab is about, maybe there is more 
than one version of the song. I sat down with the "Lonesome, On'ry and Mean" album 
and came up with this. It's my first tab, but I think it at least will give you 
the basic structure and chords of the song.

Artist: Waylon Jennings

Song: Lay Me Down

Verse:
         C (x32010@1)               Em (022000@1)	Traveling down on different roads
         F (133211@1)           G (320003@1)          
	Trying hard to leave the load
	C (x32010@1)                     Em (022000@1)	We take it there but we can't let go
          F (133211@1)    G (320003@1)           C/G (3x555x@1)
	It's so hard to lay it down

	Back in Eden we were tried
	  Eb (x43121@3)                Bb (x1333x@1)	Found ourselves disatisfied
          F (133211@1)               C/G (3x555x@1)	Seeking wisdom that she denied
          F (133211@1)   G (320003@1)           C (x32010@1)     
	Trying hard to lay it down

F (133211@1)  G (320003@1)  F (133211@1)G (320003@1)Verse:
	Hide in me,confide in me
	Don't you think it's time to be
     	Everything we tried to be
	You and me sould lay it down

F (133211@1)  G (320003@1)  F (133211@1)G (320003@1)Chorus:
     
	Speak to me,be unashamed
	There's no need in playing games
	After all we're all the same
	Just trying hard to lay it down

F (133211@1)  G (320003@1)  F (133211@1)G (320003@1)Lay it down brother,lay it down
	   It's so hard to lay it down

	Burdened by the things i've learned
          F (133211@1)                        C/G (3x555x@1)Hurting because I'm too concerned
