D5                                 G5              D5
I will write you letters that, explain the way I'm thinking now
                              G5          D5
I, I will return to you, what I have taken long before
                              G5              D5
 I, I will return again, when it gets dark and day is done
A5           D5    A5                   D5
And lay me down    in the hallowed ground
A5            D5         A5                     D5  D/#5 D5
Down by your side I will stay, so lay me down.

                                    G5           D5
And if you wanna stay with me, then let me know before it's light
                            G5              D5
I, I will recoil myself, into the black and darkest night
A5           D5    A5                   D5
And lay me down,   in the hallowed ground
A5              D5          A5                      D5  D/#5 D5 
Where my father waits I will stay, so lay me down.
A5           D5    A5                   D5
And lay me down,   in the hallowed ground
A5            D5         A5                     D5  D/#5  D5  D5
Down by your side I will stay, so lay me down. ( fade out)
