Verses :
  --------
    G5                     G5                      C5
    Sing to me sweetly as I turn sour, Lay Me Down remembering
     
    C5                                   D5            D5  D5   G5      
    That the wind and the rain played a part in that dreadful hour.

    G5                  G5                             C5
    And so as I pass I too feel the power, laying here under the trees

    C5                         D5           D5 D5  G5
    Where three days before I danced in a summer shower.

  

Chorus:
-------
                    E5                    G5                     D5
      And she said there look through the trees, the sun always shines

             C5
      Always ontime.

      E5                 G5              D5                 C5
      There rest on your knees and in a prayer, follow me there.

       This is a beautiful song from a group from my hometown of
       Raleigh, NC. It is rumored to be about a young boy who
       fell while riding his bike and landed in a deep ditch. A big rain came
       and because he broke both of his legs, he could not get up from
       the ditch and so the young boy drowned.
