Lay Down Your Weary Tune

Biography:

The Byrds were a popular American rock band formed in Los Angeles, California in 1964. They are considered one of the most important and influential bands of the 1960s.

Their music bridged the gaps between the socially and spiritually conscious folk music of Bob Dylan, the studio trickery of The Beach Boys, and the sardonic rock of The Beatles. Some of their trademark songs include pop versions of Bob Dylan's Mr. Tambourine Man and Pete Seeger’s Turn! Turn! Turn! (To Everything There Is a Season)

The Byrds Lay Down You Weary Tune written by Bob Dylan

G C G Em D
Lay down your weary tune lay down lay down the song you strum
G C G D G
And rest yourself neath the strength of strings no voice can hope to
hum
G C G
Struck by the sounds before the sun
Em D
I knew the night had come
G C
The morning breeze like a bugle blew
G D G
Against the drums of dawn
G C G Em D
Lay down your weary tune lay down lay down the song you strum
G C G D G
And rest yourself neath the strength of strings no voice can hope to
hum
G C G
The ocean wild like an organ played
Em D
The seaweed's wove it's strands
G C
The crashin waves like cymbals clashed
G D G
Against the rocks and sands
G C G Em D
Lay down your weary tune lay down lay down the song you strum
G C G D G
And rest yourself neath the strength of strings no voice can hope to
hum
G C G
The last of leaves fell from the trees
Em D
And clung to a new love's breast
G C
The branches bare like a new banjo
G D G
To the winds that listen the best
G C G Em D
Lay down your weary tune lay down lay down the song you strum
G C G D G
And rest yourself neath the strength of strings no voice can hope to
hum
