D                                 Gm6              D
I will write you letters that, explain the way I'm thinking now
                              Gm6          D
I, I will return to you, what I have taken long before
                              Gm6              D
 I, I will return again, when it gets dark and day is done
A           D    A                   D
And lay me down    in the hallowed ground
A            D         A                     D  D9/#5 D
Down by your side I will stay, so lay me down.

                                    Gm6           D
And if you wanna stay with me, then let me know before it's light
                            Gm6              D
I, I will recoil myself, into the black and darkest night
A           D    A                   D
And lay me down,   in the hallowed ground
A              D          A                      D  D9/#5 D 
Where my father waits I will stay, so lay me down.
A           D    A                   D
And lay me down,   in the hallowed ground
A            D         A                     D  D9/#5  D  D
Down by your side I will stay, so lay me down. ( fade out)
