F#m A F#m
The truest heart will not be tempted
E F#m
With bright silver or shining gold
F#m A F#m
For all you wealth she'd not speak falsely
E F#m
And all your power cannot hold
A E F#m
Lay down your kingdom, lay down
A E F#m
Lay down your kingdom, lay down

Her face is fair to those who know her

And in her eyes you see forever
E F#m
Endless joy and misery
A E F#m
Lay down your kingdom, lay down
A E F#m
Lay down your kingdom, lay down

Some men gamble for their pleasure

Some men gamble for their need

I will gamble out of need
A E F#m
Lay down your kingdom, lay down
A E F#m
Lay down your kingdom, lay down

Deliever me from an evil hand

Here's to the one who plays against me

Be he spirit, be he man
A E F#m
Lay down your kingdom, lay down
A E F#m
Lay down your kingdom, lay down
A E F#m
Lay down your kingdom, lay down
A E F#m
Lay down your kingdom, lay down
