Lay Down Your Weary Tune Again — текст песни (Steve Forbert)

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.
