Lay Down Your Weary Tune Again lyrics

capo on 3rd fret...



intro:

[F] walk down to [Dm] [G][C] walk down to [Am][Dm][G][C]



[C]In spite of you, you [F]like yourself

An` [G]that`s alright with [C]me,

[C]It gets so lonesome [F]fillin` space

An` [G]someone must [C]believe.



[C]Erase them golden [F]memories

An` [G]blow the candle [C]out,

[C]Let`s get on off [F]away somewhere

An` [G]see what we`re [C]about.



chorus: (play intro)

Lay down your [F] weary [A min7] tune [G] again

and [C] rest your [C/B] head on [A min] me,

Your [Dm]phone call says you`re sorry

An` the [G]grapevine says you`re [C]free.



[C]Your drugstore dady`s [F]flesh an` blood

Like [G]marilyn mon[C]roe,

[C]An` out there on the [F]runway now

The [G]king`s all set to [C]go.



[C]They`ll cover up the [F]window soon

`Cause [G]he`ll be rollin` [C]in,

He`s [C]Elvis Presley, [F]honey chile,

An` [G]I can`t cop his [C]grin.



chorus



[C]The missionary [F]paid my way

An` [G]put me off to [C]sleep,

[C]I woke up early [F]yesterday

An` [G]found a place to [C]eat.



[C]I got it down an` [F]felt relieved

An` [G]Jane went off to [C]work,

[C]It`s wooden soldier`s [F]Christmas time

An` [G]Jane she is a [C]clerk.



chorus



[C]In spite of you, you [F]like yourself

An` [G]I admire you [C]much.

[C]I`m out to get us [F]back in sync,

`Cause we`ve been [G]so out of [C]touch.



[C]Just meet me next to [F]Noah`s ark

An` [G]let`s get out of [C]town,

[C]There`s got to be [F]someplace somewhere

These [G]rain clouds haven`t [C]found.
