[VERSE 1]
Well [E]I suppose you could lay me down to [A2]die in Illinois
[C#m]Bury me be[Bsus]neath the rows of [A2]corn
Or in [E]between the maple trees I [A2]climbed on as a boy
Or [C#m]in the land of [Bsus]Lincoln I was [A2]born
Oh and I re[G]call we rode the combines in the [C2]fall
And there comes a time for [F]gathering the [C/E]harvest after [D]all

[CHORUS]
When you lay me down to [E]die I'll miss my [A2]boys I'll miss my [C#m]girls
[Bsus]Lay me down and [A2]let me say goodbye to this world
[E]You can lay me any[A2]where oh but just remember this [C#m]
When you [Bsus]lay me down to [A2]die You'll lay me down to [Esus]live

[VERSE 2]
Well I [E]asked a girl to marry me on a [A2]dock out on a lake
Her [C#m]babies came to [Bsus]life in Tennes[A2]see
And the [E]music of the mountains is still [A2]keeping me awake
Yeah but [C#m]everything that [Bsus]rises falls as[A2]leep
We are not al[G]one we are more than flesh and [C2]bone
What is seen will pass a[F]way what is [C/E]not is goin' [D]home

[CHORUS]
When you lay me down to [E]die I'll miss my [A2]boys I'll miss my [C#m]girls

When you [Bsus]lay me down to die...

[BRIDGE]
I'll open up my [C#m]eyes onto skies I've never [A2]known

His [D]love is just a[A2/C#]nother word for [C2]home [D]

[VERSE 3]
Well [E]I believe in the holy shores of [A2]uncreated light
[C#m]I believe there is [Bsus]power in the [A2]blood
And [E]all of the death that ever was if you [A2]set it next to life
[C#m]I believe it would[B2/D#] barely fill a [A2/E]cup
Yeah cause[C#m] I believe there is [Bsus]power in the [A2]blood

[FINAL CHORUS]
When you lay me down to [G]die so long [C2]boys so long [Em]girls
[D]Lay me down and [C2]let me say good[D]bye to this world
