E E Mhmmmm mhmmm A E Mhmmmm mhmmm E E Ohoooo Ohooo B7 Ohoooo wohoo A Ohoho CHORUS E Lord lay me down E In the evening A Lowered in the ground E When I'm cold E Lord lay me down E And when I'm leaving B7 A Carry on my very soul VERSE 1 E Scripture say that in the last days the light of rain comes E I try to see it now, I climb the ladder rung A We need that old dream, youngin's gotta prophecize E People need a glimpse of hope if only through the prophet's eyes E Heaven knows that people perish when their vision dies E Fear will kill you man and unbelief will paralyze A But we prepared to die that ain't but a journey home B7 But while we still survive, lordy let your will be known E This man before us was a friend and a leader E A compassionate father and a sturdy believer A Seems the tender age of fifty just too early to leave us B7 We ain't questionin' your will but God please show us your reasons CHORUS E Lord lay me down E In the evening A Lowered in the ground E When I'm cold E Lord lay me down E And when I'm leaving B7 A Carry on my very soul VERSE 2- BIG JOE E Amazing grace, how sweet the sound E I hope I find some when my time comes around A They laid my mama in the ground the morning I was born and now E You're singing that it's evening but the sun ain't gone down E And even now the shadow of this crown E Remind me how without the king I wouldn't be around A And something in the sound of this song as we lay me down sounds like B7 Something, but that's so long ago now E And now I'll guard this bar, fight hard for the patrons E Your king is gone but I carry on the administration A Know this: if you need a hand look to these fists B7 Forever and a day they stay clenched, long live the king! CHORUS E Lord lay me down E In the evening A Lowered in the ground E When I'm cold E Lord lay me down E And when I'm leaving B7 A Carry on my very soul E Lord lay me down E In the evening A Lowered in the ground E When I'm cold E Lord lay me down E And when I'm leaving B7 A Carry on my very soul
