Standard (EADGBE)

Lay down, lay down, lay it all down

Let your white birds smile up at the ones who stand and frown

Lay down, lay down, lay it all around

Let your white birds smile up at the ones who stand and frown

We were so close there was no room

We bled inside each others wounds

We all had caught the same disease

We all sang the songs of peace

Lay down, lay down, let it all down

Let your white birds smile up at the ones who stand and frown

Lay down, lay down, let it all down

Let your white birds smile up at the ones who stand and frown

So raise your candles high

Cos if you don't we could stay black against the night

Oh raise them higher again

Then if you do we could stay dry against the rain

Lay down, lay down, let it all down

Let your white birds smile up at the ones who stand and frown

Lay down, lay down, let it all down

Let your white birds smile up at the ones who stand and frown

We were so close there was no room

We bled inside each others wounds

We all had caught the same disease

We all sang the songs of peace

Some came to sing some came to pray

Some came to keep the dark away

So raise your candles high

Cos if you don't we could stay black against the night

Oh raise them higher again

Then if you do we could stay dry against the rain

Lay down, lay down, let it all down

Let your white birds smile up at the ones who stand and frown

Lay down, lay down, let it all down

Let your white birds smile up at the ones who stand and frown
