Lyrics
Lay down your head and sleep,
sleep. I'll be your pillow, soft and deep.
Leave me your troubles;
I will keep
your days gone by,
(G7)your (Ebmaj7)days (F7)gone (Bb)by.
(Bb)Lay down your (Eb)head and (Dm)dream,
(Cm7)dream. (Bb)You're so much (Eb)gentler than you (Cm7)seem.
(Bb)Is there a (Eb)chance you might (Cm7)redeem my (Bb)days (F)gone (Dm7)by,
(G7)my (Ebmaj7)days (F7)gone (Bb)by?
And (Eb)oh,
(Eb)his (Bb)breath is so (Eb)warm.
(Eb)Mine is short,
and my (Dbsus2)ears are (Ab)ringing.
(Bbm7)(Abmaj9)Ev'rywhere my (Dbmaj9)skin is (Cm7)(Cm9)singing.
(Bb)Lay down your (Eb)head and (Dm)sleep,
(Fsus2)sleep. (F)(Bb)I will be (Eb)pleased your (Dm)soul to (Cm7)keep.
(Bb)Give yourself (Eb)over to the (Cm7)deep
of (Bb)days (F)gone (Dm7)by, of days gone by.
