F#5        A5                 F#5
The truest heart will not be tempted 
            E5                 F#5
With bright silver or shining gold 
F#5          A5                      F#5
For all your wealth she'd not speak falsely 
             E5            F#5
And all your power cannot hold 
A5             E5            F#5
Lay down your kingdom , lay down 
A5             E5            F#5
Lay down your kingdom , lay down

F#5         A5                 F#5
Her face is fair to those who know her 
             E5                  F#5
The rest are blind, they cannot see 
F#5        A5            F#5
And in her eyes you see forever 
        E5       F#5
Endless joy and misery 
A5             E5            F#5
Lay down your kingdom , lay down 
A5             E5            F#5
Lay down your kingdom , lay down

F#5      A5                F#5
Some men gamble for their pleasure  
         E5                F#5
Some men gamble for their need 
F#5    A5              F#5
I will gamble for her favor 
       E5             F#5
I will gamble out of need 
A5             E5            F#5
Lay down your kingdom , lay down 
A5             E5            F#5
Lay down your kingdom , lay down

F#5           A5            F#5
Here's to our Lady of good fortune 
         E5               F#5
Deliever me from an evil hand 
F#5           A5             F#5
Here's to the one who plays against me 
      E5             F#5
Be he spirit, be he man 
A5             E5            F#5
Lay down your kingdom , lay down 
A5             E5            F#5
Lay down your kingdom , lay down 
A5             E5            F#5
Lay down your kingdom , lay down 
A5             E5            F#5
Lay down your kingdom , lay down
