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

Foster & Lloyd    Part I Know By Heart by Radney Foster/Bill Lloyd


         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
