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

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

F#m      A                F#m
Some men gamble for their pleasure  
         E                F#m
Some men gamble for their need 
F#m    A              F#m
I will gamble for her favor 
       E             F#m
I will gamble out of need 
A             E            F#m
Lay down your kingdom , lay down 
A             E            F#m
Lay down your kingdom , lay down

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