Lay It Down Waylon Jennings
I have no idea what the other version of this tab is about, maybe there is more
than one version of the song. I sat down with the "Lonesome, On'ry and Mean" album
and came up with this. It's my first tab, but I think it at least will give you
the basic structure and chords of the song.
Verse:
T[C]raveling down on d[Em]ifferent roads
T[F]rying hard to [G]leave the load
[C]We take it there but we [Em]can't let go
It[F]'s so h[G]ard to lay it [C/G]down
[F] [G] [F] [G]
Chorus:
B[C]ack in Eden[Bb] we were t[F]ried
Fo[Eb]und ourselves disati[Bb]sfied
Se[F]eking wisdom that [C/G]she denied
Tr[F]ying h[G]ard to lay it [C]down
[F] [G] [F] [G]
L[C/G]ay it down brot[Em]her,lay it down
[F] It's so [G]hard to lay it [C/G]down
[F] [G] [F] [G]
Verse:
Hide in me,confide in me
Don't you think it's time to be
Everything we tried to be
You and me sould lay it down
[F] [G] [F] [G]
Chorus:
Speak to me,be unashamed
There's no need in playing games
After all we're all the same
Just trying hard to lay it down
[F] [G] [F] [G]
Lay it down brother,lay it down
It's so hard to lay it down
[F] [G] [A]
Verse:(A tone higher)
Wi[D]sh my words could m[F#m]ake it well
Wi[G]sh that I could bre[A]ak the shell
[D]Take us from our [F#m]self-made hell
Fi[G]nd a way to [A]lay it d[D]own
Chorus:(A tone higher)
B[D]urdened by the th[C]ings i've lea[G]rned
Hu[F]rting because I'm too conce[C/G]rned
N[G]onetheless I confess [D]I yearn
[G] To find a [A]way to lay it [D]down
[G] [A] [G] [A]
La[D]y it down,[F#m]lay it down
W[G]ish that i c[A]ould lay it d[D]own
[G] [A] [G] [A]
[D]
