Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
Since the original is played on piano, I like to finger pick this song...
just a basic up and down arpeggio sounds nice (in my opinion).
Hope you like it! :)
Lay It Down ~ Nichole Nordeman
VERSE 1:
Em C
To every son and daughter
D E
Wayward and long gone
Em C
The love of a father
D E Cmaj7
Will leave the light on
VERSE 2:
Em C
Tried to throw you off track
D E
A needle in a haystack
Em C
I don't know how you found me
D E Cmaj7
Or why you let me come back
PRE-CHORUS 1:
Em C Am D Em
'Cause it's a long way home when all you're left to carry
C Am Em D
Is a heart of stone and the weight of most the world
And I'd like to...
CHORUS:
Em C
Lay it down a little
Em C
Lay it down a lot
G D Em
I don't want to hold it anymore
C Em
Lay it down in pieces
Em C
Lay it down in whole
G D
Everything I've carried on my own
Em C
Lay it down, lay it down
Em C
Lay it down, lay it down
VERSE 3:
Em C
I spent your money
D E
Living on the fringes
Em C
But you threw a party for me
D E
Invited all your big friends
PRE-CHORUS 2:
Em C Am D Em
And I have learned a little bit about a heavy load
C Am Em D
All that gleams and glitters is not worth its weight in gold
And I know I should...
CHORUS:
Em C
Lay it down a little
Em C
Lay it down a lot
G D Em
I don't want to hold it anymore
C Em
Lay it down in pieces
Em C
Lay it down in whole
G D
Everything I've carried on my own
Em C
Lay it down, lay it down
Em C
Lay it down, lay it down
just a basic up and down arpeggio sounds nice (in my opinion).
Hope you like it! :)
